PHILADELPHIA, PA, 18 December 2023 - PSA BDP, a leading global logistics and supply chain solutions provider, has announced the opening of its first office in Lisbon, Portugal, marking a significant step in the company’s commitment to increase its presence in the European market.

The strategic placement of PSA BDP in Lisbon, working collaboratively with the established PSA Sines Container Terminal, enables an integrated approach that combines the strengths of both locations to promote operational efficiency and open new avenues for growth in the dynamic region of Portugal and the Iberian Peninsula.
"This expansion is a reflection of PSA BDP's dedication to offering the best logistics and supply chain solutions for businesses across Europe," said Yves Letange, Managing Director-Europe, PSA BDP.
