Maersk (Maersk) has officially launched its new packing and cold chain logistics center in Olmos, Peru, a strategic move to support the country’s booming agro-export sector. As Peru’s fresh fruit exports continue to rise driven by global demand the new facility is designed to deliver speed and freshness from farm to port.
Strategically positioned in the heart of northern Peru’s agricultural corridor, the Olmos site is a newly developed, multi-product fruit logistics center designed to streamline the region’s export capabilities. Located in the Lambayeque region, Olmos has rapidly become one of Peru’s most dynamic agricultural zones. According to Peru’s National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), Lambayeque is now a top contributor to the country’s fruit exports, which experienced robust growth in 2024, including a 35.7% increase in blueberry exports and a 29.2% rise in avocado exports.
Adjacent to major plantations, the facility integrates essential logistics functions including processing, cold storage, and depot-warehousing to seamlessly connect to Maersk’s global end-to-end supply chain network. The center also offers value-added services such as container depot operations, inland refrigerated transport, and customs handling at origin, ensuring a seamless end-to-end experience for customers.
This Olmos Packing and Cold Storage Centre represents far more than a logistics investment, it is a strategic commitment to the long-term growth of northern Peru’s agro-export sector. By establishing operations in Olmos, Maersk has empowered local producers to compete on a global scale with the speed and quality.
