CLIA Pouso Alegre, a Brazilian business unit of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), has inaugurated the expansion of its Logistics and Industrial Center, strengthening the connection between the Port of Rio de Janeiro and the Southern Minas Gerais region.
The expansion, part of the new Rio-Minas corridor logistics route, is designed to enhance efficiency and competitiveness for companies in the region, which is known for its diverse industrial base.
The newly-expanded facility offers 30,000 square meters of bonded area, 2,000 sq. m. of ANVISA (Brazilian health regulatory agency)-certified refrigerated storage and a container depot. The increased capacity and more efficient operations will allow local companies to lower logistics costs and improve import and export lead times.
The launch of the Rio-Minas corridor offers a multimodal solution that strongly supports Southern Minas. It provides proximity, cost reduction and greater operational stability, positioning Rio Brasil Terminal (RBT) as a competitive and reliable alternative to other congested ports.
CLIA Pouso Alegre is a Customs-bonded logistics hub strategically located in Minas Gerais near Brazil’s main airports and seaports. Operated by the ICTSI Group, the facility anchors the Multimodal Rio-Minas corridor through its direct connection to Rio Brasil Terminal at the Port of Rio de Janeiro, creating a seamless link between local industries and global markets.
