Key details
Motz, initially established in 2020 to support Votorantim Cimentos with logistics, is rapidly transforming into an autonomous logistics provider with significant new revenue streams. In the first half of 2026, the company generated over R$1.4 billion in net revenue, reflecting a 57% year-on-year increase. Remarkably, half of this revenue came from new business areas, which surged by 106% compared to the same period last year.
Agribusiness has been a key driver of this diversification, with revenue climbing 65%, while construction operations expanded their transported volume by 31%. Motz completed 396,000 trips and moved more than 12 million tons of cargo during this timeframe, supported by a network of 150,000 registered drivers. For context, the entire year of 2025 saw just over 21 million tons transported.
Looking ahead, Motz plans to leverage these diverse client relationships and integrate artificial intelligence technologies to sustain and expand its growth. The company aims to exceed 30% growth in 2026 relative to 2025, marking a strategic shift from its original role as a logistics arm of a large industrial group to a dynamic independent player in the Brazilian logistics sector.
This evolution reflects Motz’s successful strategy to reduce dependency on its founding client and broaden its market footprint. Industry observers note that Motz’s commitment to technological adoption, including AI, to optimize operations and service quality will be critical in maintaining its upward trajectory in a competitive environment.
As Motz continues this path, its growth story offers a notable example of entrepreneurial agility and innovation within Brazil’s logistics industry, heralding a future where technology and client diversification drive sustainable business expansion.
