VLI appoints new directors for its Northern and Eastern logistics corridors

VLI, a key player in Brazil’s logistics sector, has announced the appointment of new Operations directors for its Northern and Eastern Corridors. Ederson Almeida now leads operations in the North, connecting vital production areas like Matopiba, Goiás, Mato Grosso, and Pará to São Luís’ port system. Meanwhile, Daniel Schaffazick takes charge of the Eastern Corridor, facilitating cargo transportation via the Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica (FCA) to the ports of Espírito Santo.

Reporting to Alessandro Gama, VLI’s executive director of Operations, these directors play a crucial role in integrating the company’s assets and optimizing cargo transportation. Almeida underscores the significance of the Northern Corridor for Brazil’s development and aims to enhance its efficiency, while Schaffazick prioritizes operational excellence to ensure client satisfaction and service reliability.

“VLI’s purpose is to transform Brazil’s logistics, and with my experience, I aim to help accelerate this transformation. The Northern Corridor has a growing demand and is extremely relevant to the country’s development. Safely delivering the agreed-upon volume with customers is also a mission, so that we can help the Northern Arc grow, always looking to the future and thinking about the present,” highlights Ederson Almeida.

According to Daniel Schaffazick, his experience in both Operations and Projects areas at VLI will be used to ensure customer satisfaction, asset efficiency, and operational stability. “We continuously seek operational excellence, representing faster service and always efficient assistance. Thus, we confirm the reliability of the services we offer to our clients through VLI’s integrated logistics system,” he emphasizes.

Nicolas Szwako continues to oversee operations in the Southeast Corridor, focusing on import and export flows through the Luiz Antônio Mesquita Integrated Port Terminal in Baixada Santista.

Logistic Corridors

The Northern Corridor serves diverse sectors such as agribusiness, mining, pulp and paper, and fuels, with strategic terminals across Tocantins and Maranhão. In contrast, the Eastern Corridor supports the steel industry and grain exports via Espírito Santo’s port system, complemented by terminals in Minas Gerais. These corridors are critical components of Brazil’s logistics landscape, facilitating efficient cargo movement and fostering regional development.
