Röhlig Logistics acquires minority stake in OnBoard Logistics and strengthens presence in Latin America

Bremen, Germany – 1 October 2025. The owner-managed logistics company Röhlig Logistics announces the acquisition of a 10 percent minority stake in the Latin America-based company OnBoard Logistics. With this move, the company is deepening its long-standing partnership with OnBoard founder Pablo Martinez and is sustainably expanding its presence in Latin America.

The collaboration with Pablo Martinez began back in 2006, when he represented Röhlig with his former company Procargo as an agent in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. In 2014, Martinez founded OnBoard Logistics, which today has over 350 employees in 15 countries and has established itself as an important player in the Latin American markets.

With the strategic minority stake in OnBoard Logistics, Röhlig will significantly improve its coverage throughout Latin America. While Röhlig already has a strong presence in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay, OnBoard offers the opportunity to gain a foothold in further emerging markets in the region under the brand ‘Powered by Röhlig’.

‘This pivotal move gives us a lasting impact in Latin America, expanding our network coverage and service offering for our global customers. Combined with consistent customer support, full visibility by using the same operating system CW1 and certified quality standards, it ensures we deliver reliable, high-quality solutions across the region for our clients,’ says Michael Gerding, Regional CEO LATAM at Röhlig Logistics.

‘With Röhlig joining us as a minority shareholder, we are deepening a relationship founded on trust, shared values, and long-standing collaboration’, says Pablo Martinez, CEO of OnBoard. ‘This alliance allows us to draw on Röhlig’s global expertise while preserving what makes OnBoard unique — our agility, innovation, and commitment to outstanding customer service.’
