KOGA Shipping has announced the appointment of Gigio Sarabia, founder of GL Shipping & Logistics, to lead its new commercial agency and representative office in Mexico, now branded as KOGA Mexico. This strategic move aims to strengthen KOGA's presence and service capabilities within the Mexican market.
Gigio Sarabia possesses more than 25 years of extensive experience across various facets of the shipping industry. His background includes significant roles in freight forwarding, ship operations, port consultancy, and chartering brokerage. In 2017, Sarabia established GL Shipping as a brokerage firm, further solidifying his expertise in the sector.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this expansion by KOGA Shipping in Mexico could signify enhanced options for project cargo and heavy-lift services in the region. The establishment of a local presence with an experienced agent like Sarabia may lead to improved communication, more tailored solutions, and potentially more competitive offerings for complex shipments to and from Mexico. It could also streamline coordination for multimodal projects involving sea and inland transport within the country.
