The maritime trade and industrial logistics sectors are undergoing an accelerated transformation. In today’s environment, where operational efficiency and sustainability are decisive, dry bulk handling plays a central role in the competitiveness of mining, cement, port and agribusiness operations.
 
Growing volumes, increasing pressure to reduce logistics costs, and the imperative to comply with ever-stricter environmental standards demand equipment that is more flexible, reliable and technologically advanced. In this context, mobile bulk handling solutions have emerged as strategic enablers: systems that eliminate the rigidity of fixed infrastructure and give operators the agility to adapt quickly to shifting demand.
 
GBS Group International, head quartered in Latin America with a clear vision of global expansion, has positioned itself as a strategic supplier of these solutions. Its speciality lies in designing, manufacturing and delivering mobile equipment that forms the backbone of bulk logistics chains, from mine to port.
 
A COMPREHENSIVE PORTFOLIO FOR A DEMANDING MARKET
At the core of GBS Group International’s portfolio are mobile and modular conveyor systems — the lifelines of bulk operations. Building on this foundation, the company has developed a complete range of equipment that covers every stage of the bulk handling cycle: from stockpiling at the mine or plant, to direct shiploading at the port.
 
  • Mobile and modular conveyors: designed to move clinker, coal, fertilizers, aggregates and grains with equal efficiency. Their modular design makes relocation and scaling straightforward, reducing the need for costly civil works and giving operators unparalleled flexibility.
  • Telescopic stackers (telestackers): essential for maximizing storage capacity at terminals and yards, these units create well-distributed stockpiles while reducing segregation and material loss. They are particularly valuable in mining and cement, where efficient stock management is critical.
  • Mobile shiploaders and ship-unloaders: engineered for multi purpose ports, these systems enable ship loading and discharge without reliance on fixed infrastructure. With capacities exceeding 2,000 tonnes per hour, they deliver fast, adaptable and economically sustainable operations.
This integrated and modular approach allows GBS Group International to serve as more than just an equipment supplier. It acts as a strategic partner, providing solutions designed to integrate seamlessly into clients’ logistics portfolios, enhancing their productivity and competitiveness.
 
GLOBAL REACH, STRATEGIC PRESENCE
While its roots are in Latin America, GBS Group International’s reach is global. In recent years, it has supported projects across diverse markets — from expanding port terminals to modernizing cement plants— consistently adapting its equip ment to local realities.
 
GBS Group International’s approach goes beyond equipment delivery. It provides solutions tailored to each region’s specific conditions: material characteristics, climatic challenges, energy availability and environmental regulations. This adaptability has enabled it to serve strategic sectors such as:
 
  • Mining: coal, nickel, gold, aggregates.
  • Cement and construction materials: clinker, limestone, gypsum, bulk cement.
  • Multipurpose ports: flexible loading and unloading of a wide range of commodities.
  • Agribusiness and fertilizers: urea, NPK, grains.
Looking ahead, GBS Group International’s ambition is clear: to become a Latin American hub with international projection, capable of competing with global manufacturers through a more flexible, client-centred and sustainable model.
 
INNOVATION AS A DIFFERENTIATOR
In a market dominated by multinational giants, innovation is GBS Group International’s strongest differentiator. Its latest developments focus on integrating IoT sensors and artificial intelligence into conveyors and mobile systems, enabling predictive maintenance capabilities.
 
This allows operators to anticipate failures, minimize downtime and extend the lifespan of critical components. By connecting these systems to real-time data platforms, GBS Group International provides full visibility of equipment performance, empowering decision-makers with actionable insights.
 
Complementing this, its solutions incorporate high-efficiency motors and intelligent drives that reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint — a decisive advantage in industries where sustainability is no longer optional, but a core element of corporate strategy.
 
A STRATEGIC ALLY IN A COMPETITIVE WORLD
Globalization has intensified competition across all sectors. Companies are seeking partners who deliver not just equipment, but long-term strategic value.
 
GBS Group International responds with a service model built around proximity and trust:
 
  • Robust, cost-effective designs balancing initial investment with total cost of ownership.
  • Customized solutions, adapted to each material and operating environment.
  • Local and remote technical support, ensuring availability and operational continuity.
  • Commitment to sustainability, with solutions that reduce emissions, dust and energy usage.
For GBS Group International’s clients, this means not only meeting immediate operational needs, but also strengthening their long-term competitiveness in the global marketplace.
 
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE
Bulk handling is set to play an increasingly strategic role in global logistics. The expansion of maritime trade, the growth of port infrastructure in emerging markets, and the demand for cleaner, safer operations will define the coming decade.
 
Within this landscape, GBS Group International reaffirms its commitment to being a global reference in mobile bulk handling solutions. Its vision is clear: every tonne moved must deliver more productivity, lower environmental impact, and greater value for clients.
 
The future of the sector will be built on innovation, flexibility and strategic partnerships. And in that future, GBS Group International is ready to lead the transformation.
