Interview about the future of logistics operations

Question: The supply chain challenge: In a global context where uncertainty is the norm, how has the Moldtrans Group adapted its operational strategy to ensure fluidity and resilience in the supply chains of Spanish importing and exporting companies?

María Giné: In the current context where uncertainty has become a structural factor in supply chains, Grupo Moldtrans has reinforced its operational strategy by focusing on diversification, flexibility and responsiveness.

The corporate structure, strengthened after the integration with Dimotrans Group and supported by a broad international network and a comprehensive service offering — air, sea, land transport, customs and logistics — allows us to offer tailored solutions and avoid dependence on a single operating channel.

In an environment where the main risk is concentration, the Moldtrans Group works to ensure that Spanish importing and exporting companies are not dependent on a single port, airline, supplier country, or shipping route. Thanks to specialized teams prepared to anticipate incidents, redirect logistics flows, and activate alternative transportation options, the Moldtrans Group helps guarantee the operational continuity of supply chains in the face of the now-common disruptions to international trade.

Question: Personalized attention vs. Automation: Today everything is moving towards digitalization, but in international logistics, unforeseen events require human solutions. From your management position, how does Moldtrans balance technological innovation with the personalized attention that characterizes your company in the B2B sector?

MG: At Grupo Moldtrans, we understand technology as a facilitator of that closeness. Artificial intelligence, automation, and data analytics are essential tools for optimizing decision-making and improving the customer experience. However, their true value emerges when they are applied to unleash the potential of human capital, allowing our teams to focus on what is truly strategic: designing solutions, resolving issues, and strengthening relationships of trust.

Artificial intelligence is emerging as the primary driver of value in supply chain management and will undoubtedly be the focus of technological investment in the coming years. However, it's important to remember that technology is a means to serve people and processes, not an end in itself. Companies don't thrive solely because of the technology they use, but also because of the quality of their service and the strength of their customer relationships.

The real challenge, therefore, is cultural and organizational. It requires agile business structures, adaptive leadership, and teams with a continuous improvement mindset. We envision a future that we believe will belong to those companies capable of balancing operational efficiency with relational empathy, of combining process excellence with close, human attention.

Question: Expansion and Strategic Markets: You have a solid infrastructure in the Iberian Peninsula and an extensive network of correspondents. In which routes or geographic markets are you currently providing the greatest competitive value to your clients?

MG: Indeed, Grupo Moldtrans has a solid presence in Spain and Portugal, with its own network of agencies, logistics centers and cross-docking platforms that allow it to offer agile, flexible and customer-focused operations.

Furthermore, since this year the company has been part of the Dimotrans Group, an integration that has significantly strengthened its international dimension and operational capacity, especially in southern Europe, thanks to a wide network of centers distributed throughout France and a direct presence in strategic markets such as Far East, Morocco and the United States.

This international structure is complemented by particularly strong coverage in Europe for land transport services, with key markets such as Poland, the United Kingdom, Italy, Greece, and Turkey, which are fundamental for European industrial and commercial flows. In the maritime and air sectors, in addition to its strong specialization in the Far East, Grupo Moldtrans offers well-established services to Latin America—a natural market for a large part of Spanish exports—as well as to the Middle East, regions of growing importance in international trade.

Geographic specialization and the combination of land, sea, air, customs and logistics solutions allow the group to offer reliable international coverage in much of the world.

Question: Vision for the Future and Leadership: Looking ahead, what do you think are the biggest challenges in international transport (sustainability, new customs regulations, talent) and how is Moldtrans preparing to lead them?

MG: Among the main challenges of international transport are the energy transition, the growing regulatory complexity, the attraction of talent and the capacity for technological adaptation.

In terms of sustainability, the sector faces significant transformation costs linked to the incorporation of more energy-efficient vehicles, in a context where the necessary infrastructure is still limited and where the volatility of energy costs continues to generate uncertainty.

Another major challenge will be talent. The sector needs increasingly specialized professionals with analytical skills, an international perspective, and the ability to adapt to complex and changing operating environments. Logistics is evolving towards a much more strategic model, where speed in decision-making and the ability to anticipate challenges will be key differentiators.

In this scenario, artificial intelligence will play a key role in improving incident forecasting, optimizing routes, analyzing risks, and facilitating faster and more accurate decision-making. But technology alone will not be enough. The combination of advanced tools, operational experience, and market knowledge will remain essential.

At Grupo Moldtrans, we believe the key lies in anticipation and expert advice. Customer information must go far beyond traditional tracking: we're talking about sharing strategic information in real time, detecting risks, anticipating delays, and proposing alternative scenarios before incidents impact the supply chain.

Our goal as a logistics operator is not only to transport and store goods, but to help our clients make decisions by providing flexible solutions, multimodal capacity, and an international structure prepared to adapt quickly to any changes in the global environment.

Question: Strategic Recommendation (Keys to the current context): To conclude, Maria, taking advantage of your extensive management experience: in the current scenario of constant geopolitical tension and reconfiguration of global supply chains, what are the fundamental keys that any Spanish SME or company, regardless of its size, should take into account today to ensure the success and security of its international logistics operations?

MG: In today's environment, companies must design international logistics as a safeguard and source of stability for their business. Beyond operational efficiency, it is essential to work with flexible, diversified supply chains that are prepared to adapt quickly to any changes in the international landscape.

One of the most important aspects will also be regulatory compliance. The constant increase in regulations and the ongoing changes in customs, transportation, and access to international markets require companies to stay constantly updated.

Therefore, knowing What makes a logistics operator a good choice? It will become increasingly crucial: specialized knowledge, the ability to anticipate, expert advice, and a structure prepared to respond when the environment changes.

Companies must understand that protecting their supply chain also means protecting their customers and their ability to grow. Logistics has become a key factor for stability and adaptation to the environment for companies operating in international markets.
