Who we are
We simplify the complexity of international trade
We're the team behind operational control on the China–Manzanillo and Bajío Region corridor. Every person at Sama Forwarding exists so your operation doesn't depend on chance.
Andrea Vergara
General Manager, Sama Forwarding
“Connecting logistics with results.”
I'm a specialist in industrial logistics focused on the China – Port of Manzanillo – Bajío Region corridor. I work with industrial plants in Guanajuato, Querétaro, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosí, Guadalajara, and Michoacán that depend on constant imports from Asia and can't afford logistics improvisation.
I know what happens when a container is delayed in Manzanillo. The problem isn't just the cost of the delay — it's the chain reaction inside the company: strained inventory, pressured production, internal uncertainty that spreads to areas that shouldn't be affected. That's the real consequence of logistics without structure.
I don't compete on price — I compete on operational stability. I design recurring operations for companies that import constant volume, need real visibility into their cargo, and are looking to systematically reduce logistics risk. I don't work with occasional imports — I specialize in constant volume, because that's where a logistics structure has real business impact.

Our history
We didn't start with a corridor — we started with a conviction
Sama Forwarding was born from a clear conviction: that the China – Port of Manzanillo – Bajío Region corridor needed an operator who knew it in depth, not one who would manage it as just another route among dozens of global corridors.
Today, Mexico's freight forwarding market is dominated by large international operators with presence in multiple markets and communication geared toward large corporations. Against that backdrop, Sama Forwarding chooses a different path: a specialized team, a specific corridor, and a very specific type of client.
We work for industrial plants in the Bajío that import recurrently from Asia, mainly from China, and that cannot afford logistics improvisation, lack of tracking, or loss of operational control in their supply chain.
How we operate
The principles that guide every decision on the corridor
Sama Forwarding's values aren't statements of intent — they're the criteria we use in every operation and decision we make.
Specialization
We don't operate every corridor. We operate this one.
Specializing in the China – Port of Manzanillo – Bajío Region corridor isn't a limitation — it's the source of the knowledge that lets us operate with expertise. An operator trying to cover every corridor in the world knows none of them in depth. Sama Forwarding chose to know this corridor better than anyone. That means knowing which shipping lines are reliable on the route, which customs points have more friction at certain times of year, and how to anticipate the variables a generalist doesn't anticipate because they haven't lived them.
Transparency
We inform before you ask.
In international logistics, information is power. An importer who doesn't know where their cargo is can't plan their production or inventory. At Sama Forwarding, transparency isn't an aspirational value — it's an operational process: active transit monitoring with proactive client updates. We don't wait for a problem to happen before informing you. We report it the moment we detect it, along with the corresponding action plan.
Trust
It's built shipment by shipment. It's not declared.
Trust in international logistics isn't built with promises — it's built with completed operations, respected timelines, and resolved incidents. Every operation Sama Forwarding manages on the China – Port of Manzanillo – Bajío Region corridor is an opportunity to demonstrate that the client made the right decision trusting their supply chain to this team. That's the only measure of trust that matters.
Commitment
The operation doesn't end when the ship departs.
Sama Forwarding's commitment to the client's operation doesn't start when a contract is signed, and it doesn't end when the cargo reaches the port. It starts with booking coordination in China and ends when the cargo is delivered to the client's plant or warehouse with complete documentation. In between, there are 28 days of active tracking, customs coordination, and ground transfer — and on every one of those days, the operational commitment is the same.
Expertise
Experience that's applied, not just declared.
Expertise is the result of having operated the China – Port of Manzanillo – Bajío Region corridor for years, having faced the variables that affect it, and having developed the ability to anticipate them. When Sama Forwarding chooses a shipping line for a specific operation, it makes informed decisions.
