Building relationships at Intermodal South America 2026
As Latin America’s largest trade show for logistics, cargo transport, and foreign trade, the event once again brought together industry leaders from across the region and beyond to exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and explore the future of logistics.
For Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, this year’s presence focused on creating a space that encouraged conversation and connection. Inspired by the atmosphere of a traditional German Brauhaus, the booth stood out among the exhibition halls with a warm, welcoming design that invited visitors to slow down, engage, and network in a more personal setting.
The response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors recognizing the concept as a refreshing departure from the conventional trade show experience. By creating a space designed not only for business discussions, but also for genuine human connection, the booth became a natural gathering point throughout the event. Complementing the Brauhaus theme, German-inspired catering added another layer to the experience, naturally encouraging guests to spend more time at the booth and creating opportunities for deeper conversations with customers, partners, and industry peers. In an industry driven by relationships, these moments of connection continue to play an important role in building long-term partnerships in Latin America.
Sustainability also remained a key focus throughout the event. In recognition of the booth’s environmentally conscious approach, Hellmann was honored with the Bronze Sustainability Award presented by Informa Markets. The award highlights ongoing efforts to integrate more sustainable practices into event participation while supporting broader environmental goals within the logistics industry.
Beyond the booth itself, Intermodal South America 2026 provided valuable opportunities to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping Latin American supply chains — from shifting trade patterns and infrastructure investments to digital transformation and customer-centric logistics solutions.
“At Intermodal, the largest logistics fair in Latin America, Hellmann reinforced its commitment to significantly expand its regional presence and accelerate business growth. Our booth saw strong customer attendance and high-quality engagement, with strategic conversations that underline both the strength of our relationships and the clear opportunities ahead.”
