Kalmar has reached a deal with Super Terminais Comércio e Indústria LTDA (Super Terminais) to provide additional equipment and services for its Manaus terminal in northern Brazil.
The huge order includes six Kalmar Gloria reachstackers and two Kalmar empty container handlers.
Kalmar Insight performance management technology will be integrated across all machines . The order was placed in Kalmar’s Q3 2024 order intake, with delivery expected between Q2 and Q3 2025.
Super Terminais wants to be the most efficient private terminal in the Manaus Industrial Complex. The firm is part of a larger organisation with over 30 years of expertise in the transportation and logistics industry.
The new machines will join Super Terminais’ existing Kalmar fleet, which includes reachstackers, top loaders, terminal tractors, and rubber-tyred gantry cranes.
In December 2023, Kalmar and Super Terminais agreed to provide four Kalmar reachstackers, two empty container handlers, and eight Kalmar Essential terminal tractors.
Marcello Di Gregorio, Managing Director, Super Terminais, said: “The new equipment will play a key role in our continuing expansion plans as we seek to address increasing customer demand. Maintaining productivity and quality of service at all times is essential for us, and we are confident that our ongoing collaboration with Kalmar will help us to succeed in this regard.”
Alexandre Esse, Sales Manager, Ports & Terminals, Kalmar Americas, stated: “Super Terminais is a key customer and long-term partner in the Americas region. We are delighted that they have once again chosen Kalmar to help them maintain their position as a market-leading container terminal in the region.”
