This year, the brand landed in the United States. In its debut on American soil, T4S has formed a partnership with a large multinational logistics company.
Initially, part of the fleet of this multinational has been equipped with the technology named Cargo Angel. Now, the T4S officially operates in three of the largest cities in the United States: Miami, in Florida, Los Angeles, California and Washington D.C.
Soon, other U.S. fleets will also be protected by the other innovations of T4S.
"Thanks to the efforts of the T4S team, we were able to develop innovative solutions to prevent million-dollar losses due to cargo theft", and, due to pioneering, other countries also became interested in our services, so much that we have obtained international patents over the years, says Rebuzzi.
Today the brand has a client portfolio that includes companies like FedEx, DHL, Amazon, JSL and P&G. Regarding the revenue, T4S ended 2024 with R$79 million and expects to finish 2025 with R$96 million.
