Grupo Pérez y Cía. continues advancing in its growth strategy with the integration of Caralb Marítima, an operation that reinforces its specialization in key areas of the maritime business and expands its international presence. The incorporation of Caralb is framed within the group's Maritime Services division, which has more than 50 offices around the world and a long track record in ship consignment, port call management, conventional and project cargo operations, as well as in the representation of regular and tramp lines, offshore services, cruise assistance, and comprehensive logistics solutions.
With this integration, the group strengthens its ability to offer a global, coordinated, and highly specialized service, while also expanding its coverage in strategic port locations and reinforcing its value proposition in the field of liquid cargoes.
Founded in 2008 by César Estévez, Caralb brings solid experience in port consignment, hub agency, and vessel services, providing comprehensive support to shipowners, operators, charterers, and traders. Its model, based on closeness to the client and operational efficiency, has allowed it to establish itself as a trusted partner in complex maritime operations.
The company has a notable presence in Europe, Africa, and America, and maintains a growth strategy aimed at reinforcing its establishment in Asia. Additionally, it offers uninterrupted service throughout the year, ensuring agile and secure management of port operations.
Following the integration, Caralb will continue operating with its current team, maintaining its identity and closeness to the client, while benefiting from the global network and capabilities of Grupo Pérez y Cía.
According to César Estévez, founder of Caralb, this operation will allow for "strengthening capabilities and continuing to grow without losing identity." For his part, Ramiro Cobo, general director of the group, has highlighted the contribution of technical experience and service vocation of the integrated company.
