1. What is the most interesting thing about your business?

The most intriguing aspect of our business lies in our engagement with diverse cultures, languages, and projects that positively impact people’s lives. We are passionate about fostering renewable developments and actively seek opportunities to contribute to sustainable practices. Moreover, our work affords us the privilege of traveling, connecting with individuals, and continuously learning from their unique perspectives.

2. What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Americas?

Exhibiting at Breakbulk Americas provides our company with the opportunity to gain exposure and establish ourselves as a reference in Brazil. While Breakbulk Europe is important, Breakbulk Americas allows us to showcase and promote our projects in Brazil, while also fostering cooperation with companies throughout the Americas. This includes not only the United States but also Mexico, Canada, and the entire Latin American region. By participating in this event, we can tap into a broader market and forge valuable connections within the Americas, strengthening our position and expanding our reach.

3. What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in Latin America at the moment?

Our company recognizes the significant potential for project opportunities in Latin America. Latin America possesses a considerable gap in development, particularly in areas such as energy and infrastructure. These sectors offer substantial prospects for growth and investment.

Our company is quite active on projects in that region. Despite the political issues, we truly believe in the potential and the need for projects.

1. What is the most interesting thing about your business?

Since our company was founded, we have been a leading provider for the nautical sector in Brazil, handling boats and big yachts shipments to and from anywhere in the world.

2. What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Americas?

Breakbulk cargo has been our main niche since the company’s establishment in 2009. Although we initially focused on boat shipments, we now handle all types of oversized cargo. After one of our staff attended Breakbulk Europe last year, we realized the importance of having a booth at these events. We decided to participate in Breakbulk Americas due to our regular shipments of breakbulk and OOG cargo to the USA. This event provides us with a valuable opportunity to network and connect with potential customers and agents.

3. What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in Latin America at the moment?

The outlook is for growth, as the difficulties and bottlenecks that occurred during the pandemic have been practically overcome. This limited the transportation options for special cargo, making operations more costly and difficult.

1. What is the most interesting thing about your business? The chance to make things that look hard or “impossible” a reality. Every project, client, and service bring different challenges, our goal is to learn how to overcome them and surpass all our clients’ expectations! In order to grow we believe discipline, creativity and adaptability are vital to reaching these outcomes. At Tradelossa we want to keep learning and growing every single day, not only as professionals but also as people.

2. What made your company want to exhibit at Breakbulk Americas?

The opportunity to strengthen relationships with clients and friends. Breakbulk Americas gives us the opportunity to break down barriers, build bridges and bring each other closer through great relationships. We also want to look for new chances to provide clients a high-quality service made in Mexico.

3. What is your company’s outlook on project opportunities in Latin America at the moment?

We believe nearshoring in Mexico and Latin America has the potential to be a good opportunity for the industry to grow and keep project cargo companies busy for the next couple of years. However, that wave can only be taken with a correct energetic strategy from the governments, most specifically on transmission and distribution of this energy to the different locations with higher demand, which also could bring a good size volume of operation.
