September is a month of new beginnings. Classrooms fill with students, families reorganize their routines, and businesses pick up momentum after the summer. It’s also a time when demand surges for school supplies, clothing, technology, furniture, and office products—making logistics a decisive factor in ensuring everything arrives on time and in optimal condition. In this context, having a reliable logistics partner is essential. At STM Logística, we understand that the back-to-school and back-to-work season brings a significant increase in demand and the need to coordinate multiple processes. That’s why we …

The logistics of tomorrow is already being designed today. Sustainability has become a strategic priority, with electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles, biodegradable packaging, route optimization to reduce emissions, and circular supply chains that minimize waste. Automation will go beyond conveyor belts, with collaborative robots (cobots) working alongside operators, autonomous systems capable of sorting, packing, and loading goods without human intervention, and drones delivering urgent orders to places that once seemed impossible to reach. Blockchain promises unbreakable and transparent traceability, ensuring that every step of the process is securely recorded—from the origin …

Summer is one of the most demanding times of the year for many companies. Consumption patterns change, orders increase in key sectors such as tourism, food, and e-commerce, and high temperatures or staff vacations can affect the usual pace of operations. In this context, having a prepared and flexible logistics partner is not just advisable—it’s essential. At STM Logística, we know this reality well. With more than 20 years of experience and a customer-focused approach, we adapt to the market’s seasonal needs so our clients can focus on what truly …

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), barcodes, and later RFID enabled precise inventory control. Companies began optimizing every pallet and every cubic meter of their logistics centers. Automation improved speed and reduced human errors, while transportation became more efficient thanks to dynamic route planning and satellite monitoring. With the rise of e-commerce, logistics had to make a new leap: it was no longer just about moving large volumes between factories and stores but delivering millions of individual packages to the end consumer within increasingly tight deadlines. Thus was born the so-called last …

The 20th century was marked by conflicts that tested the organizational and mobility capabilities of armies and entire nations. Logistics, which had already evolved during the Industrial Revolution, became a strategic element essential for winning battles and, in many cases, the war itself. During World War I and World War II, the mass transportation of troops, weapons, food, and medical supplies demanded innovations that forever transformed logistics management. More sophisticated systems emerged to plan routes, store supplies, and coordinate deliveries under extreme and ever-changing conditions. Roads, ports, and railway networks …

At STM Logística, we believe that logistics is not just about efficiency and transportation, but also about social commitment. That’s why, when the ADELIAS Foundation reached out to us for help with a solidarity shipment, we didn’t hesitate for a second. ADELIAS had received a very special donation from the Mango store in Barcelona: eight boxes of baby clothes intended for families in vulnerable situations in the Community of Madrid. This contribution represents a small but significant relief for many families going through difficult times, and we are proud to …

With the Industrial Revolution, the world changed forever… and so did logistics. At the end of the 18th century, the invention of the steam engine and the mechanization of production processes boosted the capacity to manufacture goods. But producing more wasn’t enough: this new abundance of products had to be moved quickly, safely, and profitably. Thus arose the need for more systematic logistics. The first railroads connected industrial centers with ports and cities, revolutionizing land transportation. For the first time, raw materials and finished products could travel long distances in …

Logistics is not a modern invention. While today we associate it with packages, automated warehouses, or e-commerce platforms, its roots reach deep into the earliest chapters of human history. At its core, logistics is the art of moving resources where they are needed, when they are needed, and in the most efficient way possible. The word logistics comes from the Greek logistikos, and was later adopted by the Romans with a clearly military application. In the Roman legions, the logista was responsible for managing supplies, transportation, roads, and camps. Without …

STM is marking milestones in the entrepreneurial trajectory of this young, but highly experienced logistics and transportation company. At the end of 2024, STM Logística legalized part of its facilities in Camporroso (Alcalá de Henares) as a Chemical Products Warehouse, with license APQ 3700. This step forward by the company has led to the signing of a contract with the Norwegian multinational Yara. The agreement includes the storage and distribution of its products for Iberia (Spain and Portugal). Yara International is a multinational specialized in the production and distribution of …

STM Logística already has a warehouse for chemical products, so part of its facilities at PI Camporroso in Alcalá de Henares have been able to accommodate this type of product since January. STM Logística had applied to the Community of Madrid for the corresponding license, dated December 27, 2024. A few days ago it received the communication from the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Employment, authorizing it, with the registration number APQ 3700. Therefore, and after the works, updates and improvements made in recent months, the APQ warehouse of STM …

Continuing with the history of e-Commerce, it can be said that in 1991, the Internet was officially opened for commercial use, which marked the beginning of an exponential growth in the use of e-commerce. The first online purchase is believed to have been made in 1994, when a buyer purchased a Sting CD from the NetMarket website. In 1994, Jeff Bezos founded Amazon as an online bookstore. Over time, Amazon expanded its product offerings and became one of the world’s largest online retailers. In 1995, Pierre Omidyar launched eBay, an …
