SÃO PAULO - Agility, a leading global logistics provider, recently received top honors at the 2011 Logistics Efficiency Award ceremony hosted by Infraero, the Brazilian Airport Authority.

Presented annually, the “Logistics Efficiency” award recognizes the most efficient importer and supply chain. This year, Agility was recognized for its freight forwarding performance for its client, Itautec.

“We are honored to accept this award and thank Infraero for recognizing Agility’s strengths in this competitive field,” said Ricardo Sapag, CEO Agility Brazil. “In Brazil and around the world, we believe that our brand of personal service, robust operations and global network are what make a difference in day-to-day freight forwarding and logistics.”

Agility was judged on its ability to quickly and efficiently release cargo against parameters set by Infraero’s Ranking of Logistics Efficiency, a monthly ranking of cargo clearance time at airports that recognizes top importers in several segments including: Recof, Normal Recof, Metal-mechanic, Technology, “Linha Azul,” Pharmaceutical and Featured Exporter.
