Located on the isthmus linking North and South America, Panama has established itself as a key point for international trade. Its privileged position not only facilitates the supply of markets around the world, but also makes it a hub for global logistics.
The Panama Canal: A Maritime Trade Engine
The Panama Canal is one of the most important trade routes on the planet. It connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific, allowing the efficient transit of goods between Asia, Europe and the Americas. Thanks to its expansion in 2016, vessels of greater capacity can now cross, improving the efficiency of global transportation.
Multimodal Infrastructure
Panama has a world-class infrastructure network that includes modern ports on both oceans, international airports and land connectivity that facilitates trade with the rest of Central America. Tocumen International Airport is a key air hub connecting to more than 90 destinations worldwide.
Free Trade Zones and Logistics Centers
The Colon Free Zone is the largest in the western hemisphere and allows companies to import, store and redistribute products without the immediate payment of taxes and duties. In addition, Panama has logistics parks and 3PL and 4PL platforms that optimize the distribution of goods to regional and international markets.
The gateway to the Americas
Its geographical position, first-class infrastructure and trade policies make Panama the ideal epicenter for the distribution of goods and services. Multinational companies have already established their regional headquarters in the country, taking advantage of its unparalleled logistics platform and connectivity.
