Cainiao Network has established a strategic collaboration with Correios, the postal service of Brazil, to deepen their involvement in logistics and technology to enhance cross-border express and last-mile logistics services in the Latin American nation.

As part of this collaboration, Cainiao and Correios have agreed to deepen their cooperation in international air freight, local logistics infrastructure, and smart logistics technology.

The joint efforts will also contribute towards the both companies’ shared goal of promoting bilateral trade between China and Latin America.

The move comes as Brazil’s national post looks to prioritize innovation, customer-centricity and a forward-thinking mindset to maintain industry leadership, amidst a highly competitive market. Cainiao currently has eight weekly cargo chartered flights from China to Brazil, and has built automated distribution centers, overseas warehouses, and self-pickup lockers in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. It also recorded 70 percent growth for its last-mile service in Brazil in March.
