Cylinder head and block production line relocation: Poland to Brazil

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

Poland

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.

Need to know more?

Why were the dismantling and shipping deadlines so critical to this project?
The deadlines were directly linked to the production schedule at the Brazil facility, so any delay in dismantling or shipping would have had a direct impact on the client’s ability to resume production there.
Why were custom-built boxes used for packing the production line components?
Each component was packed in boxes designed specifically for sea transport, protecting the equipment throughout the long journey between Poland and Brazil.
