The Everwood Capital Transport and Logistics Fund has acquired 100% of Paublete, a customs management and foreign trade company based in the Port of Algeciras, with the aim of integrating it into AGSA-PARTIDA, the customs management platform backed by the fund.
Founded in 1987 as a family business, Agencia Paublete has established itself over more than three decades as a leading customs operator in the Campo de Gibraltar region. In 2025, it processed nearly 50,000 customs declarations for a client base of more than 500 customers, supported by a team of 23 highly specialized professionals.
The company also holds Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) certification since 2012, a top-tier accreditation that positions it as a trusted partner of the Spanish Tax Agency and allows it to operate with centralized customs clearance across any Spanish customs office.
With offices in Algeciras and La Línea de la Concepción, as well as a bonded warehouse for export goods, Agencia Paublete plays a strategic role in one of Europe’s most important logistics hubs: the Strait of Gibraltar, a passage for approximately 20% of global maritime traffic and a key gateway for goods moving between Europe, Africa, and international markets.
A leading platform at the heart of the Strait
The incorporation of Agencia Paublete provides a new boost to Everwood Capital’s customs management and foreign trade vertical, which began with the acquisition of Partida Logistics and was later strengthened through the integration of AGSA Logistics.
The new acquisition expands AGSA-PARTIDA’s capabilities with unique expertise in Gibraltar-related traffic, daily groupage services, hazardous goods management, and border inspections—areas in which Paublete has demonstrated sustained and widely recognised leadership.
The resulting group is expected to reach nearly €30 million in net sales and handle around 200,000 customs declarations annually for more than 2,000 clients, with a workforce of approximately 200 professionals. Its network of strategically located offices in Algeciras, La Línea de la Concepción, Barcelona, Almería, and more recently Tangier and Tangier Med positions AGSA-PARTIDA as the leading independent operator across Europe’s key logistics and trade corridors, the Iberian Peninsula, and North Africa.
This transaction further strengthens AGSA-PARTIDA’s capabilities, particularly in Gibraltar-related flows and daily groupage operations, consolidating the platform as one of the leading independent operators in the Spanish market.
According to Juan José Andrés, partner at Everwood Transport and Logistics, “the acquisition of Agencia Paublete is a strategic decision that reinforces our leadership position in a globally significant hub. The Campo de Gibraltar is Spain’s most active border and one of Europe’s most critical logistics gateways: having the leading operator here gives us a unique competitive advantage. Agencia Paublete brings 35 years of specialisation, deep relationships with port authorities and shipping lines, and a service culture that fully aligns with AGSA-PARTIDA’s values. Together, we have the scale, reach, and expertise to be, without doubt, the leading independent platform in Spain.”
A more robust and specialised logistics ecosystem
The acquisition of Agencia Paublete is the sixteenth transaction of Everwood Capital’s Transport and Logistics Fund and confirms the discipline and long-term vision with which the fund builds leading groups in specialised segments of the industry.
Through its various platforms, Everwood has created a business ecosystem integrating leading companies across complementary areas: MARESA Logística and ALTAIR CL in freight forwarding; the Trelix group (formed through the integration of HTG, ARIN EXPRESS, and TRANSPANEUROPA) in industrial express transport; A TU HORA EXPRESS in last-mile logistics; AGSA-PARTIDA and PAUBLETE in customs management and foreign trade; PRONTIA Logística in national cold-chain transport and logistics; and Tudefrigo, Transportes Cruz, and Grupo Transmolbo in international refrigerated transport and logistics.
With this new addition, Everwood Capital continues to make steady progress in building one of the most relevant independent logistics platforms in the Iberian Peninsula, combining specialisation, geographic coverage, and operational capacity to support its clients’ growth across every step of the logistics chain.
