DP World has signed a five-year agreement with Suzano, one of the world’s largest pulp and paper producers, to manage warehouse and production line supply operations at a facility in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, EspÃrito Santo.
The contract expands DP World’s contract logistics footprint in Brazil and reinforces its integrated approach to port and inland logistics.
The nearly 5,000 square metre facility is embedded within Suzano’s Consumer and Tissue division manufacturing plant and became operational in February.
DP World’s scope of work covers inbound receiving, inventory management, production line replenishment, and outbound distribution of finished tissue products including toilet paper, napkins and paper towels.
The facility supports daily production of approximately 19,000 bales, with inbound handling capacity of up to 152 tonnes per day and outbound distribution capacity of 128 tonnes per day.
Distribution serves consumer markets across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Brazil’s Central-West region.
The agreement extends a longstanding commercial relationship between the two companies at the Port of Santos, where DP World manages Brazil’s largest and most modern pulp export warehouse, with annual handling capacity of up to five million tonnes.
Fabio Siccherino, CEO of DP World in Brazil, framed the deal as a demonstration of the company’s ability to connect port operations, warehousing and inland distribution into a coherent logistics chain.
Nilton Sampaio, Executive Supply Chain Manager at Suzano, described the arrangement as part of a broader effort to build a more agile and sustainable logistics operation.
DP World’s Santos terminal recorded 1.3 million TEUs in 2025, a new operational record surpassing the 1.25 million TEUs handled in 2024.
Across Brazil, the company now operates nearly 100,000 square metres of contract logistics capacity.
Since entering the Brazilian market in 2013, DP World has invested R$3 billion in port infrastructure, logistics and multimodal connectivity.
