Relocating two critical automotive production lines from Poland to Brazil, dispatching 337 trucks.

Meeting strict deadlines tied directly to Brazil’s production schedule
Our teams in Poland and Brazil relocated a cylinder block line and a cylinder head line from Poland to Brazil for a major automotive manufacturer. The strict dismantling and shipping deadlines were directly linked to the production schedule at the Brazil facility, where any delay would affect the client’s ability to resume production.
Full dismantling, custom sea-transport packing and 337 truck dispatches
Our teams handled the full dismantling, specialised packing and international shipping of both production lines, with each component packed in custom-built boxes designed for sea transport. At the destination, our operations team oversaw the installation of the production lines in Brazil, maintaining compliance with the original production setup throughout.
