AGUNSA begins operations as national logistics operator for CMPC
With a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the company formally launched its national logistics operator and transportation contract for CMPC, which covers cargo management to 25 destinations nationwide from its distribution centers in Santiago and Talcahuano.
Yesterday, Wednesday, November 4, AGUNSA celebrated the launch of its new operation for CMPC with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at its Lampa distribution center, attended by executives and operations teams from both companies. The event marked the beginning of a partnership with one of Latin America's leading forestry and industrial companies, with 106 years of history.
Operations began on November 2 at the AGUNSA Santiago and Talcahuano distribution centers. From there, AGUNSA will manage all of CMPC's cargo to 25 destinations throughout Chile, integrating logistics and transportation capabilities into a single, optimized service model.
The contract stems from the experience AGUNSA has built in the retail and mining industries, where it has implemented logistics solutions focused on efficiency and operational continuity.
"CMPC saw firsthand how AGUNSA has transformed logistics in the retail and mining industries, and challenged us to bring that experience to its operations, with a model and systems designed to generate efficiencies, strengthen its processes and cargo traceability, and ensure the continuity, sustainability and safety of its operations. For AGUNSA, it is a source of pride that CMPC has placed its trust in us to support them in this new chapter," said Tomás Valenzuela, Commercial Manager at AGUNSA.
"These have been months of learning and planning alongside the team to design every detail of this operation and ensure a smooth start-up. Today, more than 40 of our people are dedicated to this client, committed to delivering excellent service from day one," noted Alfredo Repenning, Warehousing and Distribution Manager at AGUNSA.
With this operation, AGUNSA takes a strategic step toward more integrated, efficient and reliable logistics that drives CMPC's competitiveness throughout Chile and reinforces AGUNSA's position as one of the country's leading logistics players.
