“Kando’s strategic planning and efficient execution are the keys to our success—whether navigating the challenges of the Red Sea and Suez Canal or balancing the advantages of these key maritime corridors with the need for cost-effective operations”
Interview with Kando Global
In the ever-evolving world of logistics, few companies manage to stand out as true innovators. Kando Global, Conqueror member in Barranquilla and Cartagena, Colombia, is one such trailblazer, redefining what it means to be a freight forwarder. With a foundation built on exceeding expectations—the company has set a new benchmark for customer experience, operational efficiency, and cutting-edge technology. Since its inception in 2015, they have been on a mission to transform the logistics landscape, proving that a freight forwarding company can be both efficient and memorable. Through strategic investments, technological advancements, and a relentless focus on solving complex logistics challenges, Kando has become a trusted partner in a demanding industry. This interview features Simonides Vasco, CEO of Kando Global, offering an inside-look into the company’s journey, innovations, and future aspirations.
Q. When and how did you get into the freight forwarding industry?
A. Our journey into the freight forwarding industry began with a deep passion for creating unique, memorable customer experiences. Having a deep know-how in the merchant marine, port operation and international logistics sectors, we saw an opportunity to combine technology, flexibility, and operational excellence in a way that would exceed the expectations of our clients.
Q. Can you tell us a little of the history of Kando?
A. Kando was established in 2015 with the vision of elevating the logistics experience. We embraced the concept of “Kando,” a Japanese term that represents the positive emotions felt when something exceeds expectations. We were driven by a desire to create a logistics company that focused not only on efficiency, but also on generating memorable experiences for our customers through a unique service and innovative solutions. Up to this date, we continue to work with the same drive and passion that characterized our initial efforts.
Q. Which are the latest improvements of your company in the last 5 years?
A. Over the past five years, we have made significant improvements in our technological capabilities, including the implementation of our proprietary JOY system, which enables real-time tracking and operational optimization. This system has allowed us to enhance visibility and improve efficiency throughout our supply chain processes. In addition, we have expanded our service offerings to include a diverse freight solution portfolio beyond the simple handling of containers. Currently we offer perishables, hazardous materials, project & heavy lift cargo, ro-ro (roll-on / roll-off), livestock, liquid & dry bulk, and breakbulk cargo services.
Q. How does Kando approach the transportation of complex cargo such as ro-ro and breakbulk shipments?
A. Kando specializes in the transportation of complex cargo, like we mentioned before, which require unique handling and logistics solutions. For ro-ro shipments, we use specialized vessels designed for the safe transport of vehicles and heavy machinery, ensuring secure loading and unloading processes. For heavy lift and OOG (Out of Gauge) cargo, which includes items too large or hefty for standard containers, we provide customized solutions to transport goods like industrial equipment and project cargo. We leverage our global network and extensive industry knowledge to ensure that each shipment, no matter how complex, is handled with precision and delivered on time, maintaining the high level of service Kando is known for.
Q. What distinguishes Kando from other freight forwarders in your city?
A. Kando stands out because we combine a high level of operational flexibility with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional service. We offer a comprehensive range of services from maritime, air, and road transport to warehousing and insurance, all designed to provide our clients with efficient, tailored solutions. Our focus on customer experience and the use of our proprietary system, JOY, for real-time tracking and process optimization also sets us apart from the rest.
“We embraced the concept of “Kando,” a Japanese term that represents the positive emotions felt when something exceeds expectations.”
Q. What are the main challenges facing freight forwarders in your country at the moment?
A. Freight forwarders in our region face several challenges, including rising freight costs and price volatility, supply chain disruptions, and increasing customer demands for faster and more transparent deliveries. Political and economic uncertainties, as well as environmental regulations, also impact the logistics sector, adding complexity to typical and standard operations. Luckily, we are ready to deal with any surprise we may find in our path.
Q. How is Kando dealing with these challenges on a daily basis?
A. At Kando, we address these challenges by fostering strong partnerships with our global network and providing flexible solutions to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Our team is prepared to manage and solve any unforeseen delays. We leverage advanced technology to improve efficiency and reduce costs, while ensuring clear communication to quickly respond to any unforeseen situations. For example, in navigating the challenges of the Red Sea and Suez Canal, balancing the advantages of these key maritime corridors with the need for streamlined, cost-effective operations has required strategic planning and efficient execution, which Kando has managed effectively.
Q. How do you think technology is changing the freight forwarders industry?
A. Technology is revolutionizing the freight forwarding industry by enhancing efficiency, visibility, and communication. Tools like real-time tracking, AI (Artificial Intelligence), and data analytics are enabling companies to optimize operations, reduce costs, and provide greater transparency to customers. However, it is important to balance technological advances with in-person interactions to maintain strong personal connections. That’s why we actively participate in industry exhibitions such as Breakbulk Americas, Breakbulk Europe, Intermodal South America, Intermodal Europe, and The Heavy Lift Group, staying ahead of market trends and strengthening our industry ties. Additionally, we maintain an active presence on social media platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn to engage with our community and share updates on our services and innovations.
Q. From your own experience, which are the keys to success in the freight forwarding industry?
A. The keys to success are adaptability, strong relationships with partners, and a commitment to deliver excellent customer service. For us, being part of a robust global network like Conqueror is essential. Forwarders should have strong partnerships with reputable carriers and local reps. These connections ensure smooth and secure international cargo movement, but local expertise adds another layer of reliability. It’s also crucial to stay ahead of industry trends, embrace new technologies, and continuously improve operational efficiency.
Q. Where do you see Kando in 10 years?
A. In 10 years, we see Kando expanding our global presence, continuously innovating our service offerings, and solidifying our reputation as a trusted partner in logistics, not only in Colombia, but worldwide. We aim to be a leader in sustainable logistics solutions, leveraging the latest technologies to provide unmatched customer experiences.

The cargo that had a total weight of 42,300 kilograms had to be transported with the help of special equipment for safe and efficient transportation
Van Moer Forwarding BVBA, Conqueror member in Antwerp, Belgium, has recently transported three oversized silos from Belgium to Cyprus. Each silo, measuring 24.5 meters in length, 3.7 meters in diameter, and weighing 14,100 kilograms, required meticulous planning and execution to ensure safe and efficient delivery.
The journey began in Nazareth, Belgium, where Van Moer’s Exceptional Transport division carefully transported the silos during nighttime to Q1333 in the Port of Antwerp. At the port, they lifted the silos onto 80-foot Mafi trailers and shipped via Grimaldi Lines to Limassol, Cyprus.

“Reaching 45 years is not just a milestone but a reflection of our dedication to adapting to industry challenges and consistently delivering value to our clients,” said Marcelo Orchansky, Co-Manager of Córdoba Internacional.
In its early years, the firm faced significant challenges, including absence of local infrastructure, limited customs brokerage services and centralized operations in Buenos Aires. Over time, the company overcame these challenges and expanded its services to include international moving, specialized packaging, warehousing, customs clearance, and local distribution. Furthermore, in 1999, it became the first logistics firm in Argentina’s interior to implement ISO 9001/2000 quality standards.
“Throughout our journey, we’ve been privileged to handle extraordinary projects — from transporting giraffes, dolphins, and circus equipment to Moscow, to supporting the Embalse Nuclear Power Plant, and managing cargo for the colossal Antonov 124 aircraft,” said Ricardo Orchansky, Founder of Córdoba Internacional SRL.
Today, they continue to address persistent challenges in Argentina’s logistics sector, such as high port costs, tax burdens, and extended shipping timelines. Looking ahead, Ricardo and Marcelo emphasize the importance of economic stability and reduced logistics costs for the sector’s growth. With a legacy built on experience, reliability, and a global perspective, they continue to lead Argentina’s logistics industry into the future.
Wishing a happy 45th Anniversary to Córdoba Internacional and all the best for their future endeavours!

Ian Baxter, Chairman of Baxter Freight, and Peter Isler, Managing Director of Baxter Freight
Q. What was the vision behind Baxter Freight’s development?
A. Having worked in the logistics industry for most my life, I knew what I wanted to concentrate on when creating Baxter Freight, and that was to focus entirely on our customers needs, and proactively develop how we serve them. We understand that our customers’ needs are not just local, but global. So in order to provide them with the best possible solutions, we decided to be non-asset based, as this offers maximum flexibility.
Q. How important are relationships within logistics?
A. We’re a global business, and we have the capability to move any goods to any place, and that is largely contributed to all the long-standing relationships we’ve built along the way, and continue to do so every day. Being a part of Conqueror Freight Network has been a game-changer for us in this regard. Through Conqueror, we’ve been able to connect with reliable partners across the globe, opening doors to new opportunities and collaborations. These partnerships not only help us expand our reach but also enable us to navigate the complexities of international logistics with greater agility and confidence.
“We understand that our customers’ needs are not just local, but global. So in order to provide them with the best possible solutions, we decided to be non-asset based, as this offers maximum flexibility.”
Q. What are your standout moments since the creation of Baxter Freight?
A. For me, it has to be the way our team dealt with Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic. Both of these things were such difficult times to navigate for so many, but we managed to turn a negative into a positive. I’m really proud that we were able to work through Covid without making any redundancies, or putting our employees on furlough. Then, during a global pandemic, Brexit was happening. It was announced we were leaving the EU on the 31st December, so not only did we have a short amount of time to prepare for huge legislative change, that change was happening during Christmas too! During these turbulent times, our resilience and values were tested a lot. I witnessed stand out performances from all of the team, who were able to turn chaos into order – in a word, they were extraordinary.
Q. What changes have you seen to the logistics industry in the last 10 years?
A. The world is always changing, and no industry notices that more than logistics. Supply chains are becoming more complex, but it’s our task to simplify them. I think it’s fair to say that there are too many trucks on the road right now, and it’s our aim to improve utilisation for sustainability and productivity. This is something I recognised whilst developing Baxter Freight 10 years ago, and is one of the biggest reasons we work through a non-asset model.
Q. How has Baxter Freight evolved over the last 10 years?
A. I’m so proud of the values that we’ve developed over the last 10 years, as they’re truly a testament of what we stand for and what we believe. Our values act as both a reflection of who we are and a reminder to always live by them. Since the creation of Baxter Freight, I’ve also witnessed our team grow and evolve. I’m really proud that so many people have been with us from the very beginning, and they’ve felt empowered to take the job and run with it and make it their own.
Q. Which were some of the most interesting shipments you have handled in the last 10 years?
A. Well there’s been so many it’s hard to remember! Although, moving a delivery for Air Force One for President Obama is definitely up there. As a freight forwarder you constantly need to be imaginative, and without assets we’re free to use our imagination all the time – so anything we put our hand to, there’s always an injection of creativity.
Q. Where do you see the future of Baxter Freight?
A. The pace of change is always accelerating, and I have full faith that we’ll be able to get ahead of any changes that come our way. Technology is one of our top priorities to improve efficiencies in everything we do, and to help us navigate new solutions to topics like climate change. Our values have been designed to encompass everything we do, so I know that even in the next 10 years, we’ll always be creative, authentic, own it and be better together.
The shipment primarily consisted of engineering goods, including motors, boilers, and tanks
HTL Logistics India Pvt Ltd, Conqueror member in Ahmedabad, India, has successfully completed a significant project involving the transportation of engineering goods from Chennai. The cargo primarily consisted of motors, boilers, and tanks. To handle this diverse range of items, the shipment utilized major liners such as MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, and HMM.
Engineering Goods Project Shipment by HTL Logistics
HTL Logistics provided an end-to-end solution that encompassed pick-up, clearance, stuffing, lashing, chocking, and transportation to the port. This ensured a seamless transition from the initial stages to the final delivery. However, one of the major challenges faced during this project was ensuring the protection and security of the goods throughout the transportation process. To overcome this HTL Logistics secured the vehicles and containers used for transport and ensured that all drivers were thoroughly trained in security procedures. Moreover, the transporter service selected for this project adhered to strict compliance measures, including obtaining all necessary road permissions, to ensure the utmost safety of the cargo. Additionally, they used a variety of special equipment, to accommodate the specific requirements of the cargo. The transportation process adopted a hybrid approach, using semi low bed trailers tailored to the cargo needs at various stages.
OOG Shipment – HTL Logistics
Amit Chawla from HTL Logistics commented, “Our team is committed to providing insightful logistics solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency. This project presented some challenges, but our careful planning and execution ensured its successful completion.” He added, “Lastly, we are proud of our ability to handle complex logistics operations and deliver results that exceed our clients’ expectations.”
