FROM A CUSTOMS AGENCY TO A COMPLETE LOGISTICS OPERATION
When the customs agency used by the Kuoman family for various procedures was offered to them for sale, they agreed to the transaction and David Kuoman took place in charge of it. He considered this new business unit as a means to grow
inside and outside the country. “I had studied economic integration. I got to know the business and at the end of the day foreign trade is the one who ‘calls the tune’,” said Mr. Kuoman. END-TO-END INTEGRATION

services and also oversized cargo; it has a complete cold chain with refrigerated transport and cold storage. The company has racks, pallets, and forklifts for sale and rent. The company’s integration involves 22 highly equipped locations in Peruvian territory. Only in Lima, it has distribution centers in San Borja, Ate, Chorrillos and a dry port in Callao, one of Peru’s strategic maritime locations. Warehouses are adjusted for the customers’ different purposes, be it a simple warehouse or one with special requirements such as customs warehouses, archives, storerooms for food and pharmaceutical products, among others. It should be mentioned that the work in SAVAR’s dry port saves time for unloading containers, with the 24x7x365 agile modality, making it the most valuable option for its customers. On its behalf, the International Cargo division carries out export and import by air, sea and land.
ADVANTAGES TRANSLATED INTO BETTER COSTS
Among the advantages offered by SAVAR, Total Integration enables the customer to transfer full responsibility for the goods to the company, from the departure warehouse up to the destination. Total control over aspects such as cold chain, last mile transport, storage and customs procedures provides peace of mind to the customer: all these processes are streamlined, since they are addressed by a single supplier that has insurance policies which entitle to compensation in case of accidents and unexpected incidents. Another significant factor that makes SAVAR a better option is the credit and financing facilities it offers for import and export operations. “All this helps customers a lot, it has helped us climb positions and now we are among the top three or four in Peru,” said the CEO.
