The company is boosting pangasius export growth and at the same time delivering faster, more reliable logistics for high-priority shipments
Headway JSC, a member of the Cooperative Logistics Network in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Haiphong, and Qui Nhon, is closing 2025 with notable achievements that underline its rising influence in international logistics.
Brazil drives record-setting pangasius export growth
Over the first nine months of the year, Headway handled 36,599 tons of pangasius exports bound for Brazil. That represents a 57 percent leap compared to the same period in 2024, far surpassing the national growth rate and clearly illustrating Brazil’s role as the company’s strongest expansion market.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) reports that Vietnam’s pangasius exports exceeded USD 1.6 billion in value during the first three quarters of 2025, up nearly 10 percent year-on-year. Brazil alone accounted for roughly USD 122.4 million by mid-September, rising 51 percent from last year as South America leans deeper into high-nutrition and cost-efficient white fish products.
This aligns perfectly with Headway’s competitive strengths. By Q3 2025, the company’s total pangasius export cargo volume reached 84,128 tons, a 10 percent increase year-on-year. Brazil now accounts for 43 percent of the company’s overall market structure and has surged an extraordinary 148 percent compared to 2023.
“We are proud to see Brazil continue to be our strongest growth driver,” said Felix Nguyen, Managing Director of Headway JSC. “Demand from supermarket chains, foodservice operators, and frozen processors has confirmed the long-term trajectory of this market. Quality consistency is everything in frozen seafood and our cold chain competency is what keeps buyers coming back.”
As Asia–South America routes become more complex, Headway has reinforced its service reliability through streamlined links between ICDs, seaports, and global carriers. Real-time tracking and advanced reefer technology allow full visibility across the journey, protecting product integrity from Vietnam’s processing hubs all the way to São Paulo and beyond.
Breakthrough performance in multimodal logistics
Beyond cold chain success, Headway is also demonstrating leadership in multimodal transport. The company recently executed a time-critical label shipment using a Sea–Truck–Air model that ensured speed, reliability, and cost optimization.
This operation took place under Temporary Import–Re-Export regulations. By moving cargo directly from the seaport to the airport through bonded trucking, Headway helped the customer avoid full import procedures, reducing dwell time and maintaining strict security throughout the process. Despite urgent scheduling, the shipment was delivered precisely on time and fully compliant with local regulations.
Drawing on two decades of expertise, Headway has continued to expand multimodal route planning for a wide spectrum of cargo. Recent operations include raw materials flowing from Vietnam to Korea to shorten production cycles, urgent industrial components arriving from Germany to safeguard factory continuity, and steady movement of auto parts via sustainable high-volume ocean connections. These solutions are designed individually around customer priorities, speed, cost-efficiency, or supply chain stability, ensuring uninterrupted operations even when global logistics pressures rise.
A partner that moves with the industry
The international market is shifting fast. Exporters are demanding partners who bring problem-solving instincts and resilient infrastructure, not just transport capacity. Headway’s achievements show exactly that mindset in action. Today, the company combines strong regional presence, advanced temperature-controlled capabilities, and flexible multimodal planning to help customers compete in more markets with fewer risks. This approach strengthens Vietnam’s role in global supply chains while creating new opportunities for industries preparing for the next phase of international growth.
Congratulations to Headway JSC for these outstanding results. Here’s to even greater milestones ahead!
