KALÉ ACQUIRES PORTEL LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGIES TO STRENGTHEN ITS EUROPEAN OPERATIONS AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE CAPABILITIES
Acquisition combines Kalé’s experience in community systems and trade facilitation with Portel’s European Union regulatory and community systems expertise
Mumbai, India, Wednesday 24th June 2026: Kalé Logistics Solutions (Kalé) has acquired Portel Logistics Technologies (Portel), a Spain based port community and regulatory compliance solutions provider.
The acquisition strengthens Kalé’s position in Europe and expands its ability to help customers meet evolving customs and compliance requirements across the air and maritime logistics industries.
Portel’s flagship products, Dedalo and Vellore, will complement Kalé’s existing airport and port community systems portfolio, adding advanced regulatory and customs compliance capabilities.
The acquisition also provides Portel’s 350 plus customers access to Kalé’s wider portfolio of logistics technology solutions, while creating new opportunities to integrate and extend services across both customer bases.
“Kalé strongly believes that e-commerce and regulation will be the key trends driving the future of the industry and the acquisition of Portel is a defining step in Kalé’s journey to become the leading global platform for trade facilitation and logistics compliance; after our acquisition of AvLog-the e-commerce technology provider earlier this year,” said Amar More, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kalé.
Vipul Jain, the Chairman of the Kalé group said:, “Portel’s expertise in EU regulatory mandates, combined with their strong local team and customer relationships, gives us the foundation we need to serve the European market with the depth and trust it deserves, and together, we are positioned to help the industry navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
This is also good news for Kalé’s existing customer base in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Spain, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and other European Nations as well as our Spanish speaking customers in South America.”
Dedalo and Vellore support the electronic exchange of advance cargo information in accordance with Import Control System 2.0 (ICS2) standards, which requires all cargo entering Europe to be declared before arrival.
The platforms help reduce manual customs processing across maritime and air cargo operations, improving efficiency and simplifying compliance for freight forwarders, ports, airports, and ground handlers.
Angel Ramirez the President of GTD group which owned Portel said: “Joining Kalé marks an exciting new chapter for Portel, our employees and our customers.
“By combining Portel’s expertise in European regulatory compliance with Kalé’s global trade facilitation capabilities, we can deliver greater value to customers while accelerating innovation across our platforms.”
The acquisition gives Kale a stronger operational presence within Europe, supported by Portel’s experienced local team and is part of Kale’s strategy to build a comprehensive, complaint-first technology platform for global trade.

Our Vision
The objective of SESAR is to modernise European ATM by defining, developing and delivering new or improved technologies and procedures (SESAR Solutions).
SESAR’s vision builds on the notion of trajectory-based operations’ and relies on the provision of air navigation services (ANS) in support of the execution of the business or mission trajectory — meaning that aircraft can fly their preferred trajectories without being constrained by airspace configurations.
SESAR Deployment Manager
The SESAR Deployment Manager (SDM) function is defined by the Article 9 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) N°409/2013. Under the oversight of the European Commission, the SDM function consists of the synchronisation and the coordination of the deployment of the Common Projects. A Common Project is a Commission Implementing Regulation which mandates the implementation of the most essential operational changes in the European ATM Master Plan by the Member States of the European Union and their operational stakeholders. The first Common Project is known as the Pilot Common Project (PCP) and is defined by the Regulation (EU) N°716/2014. The SDM synchronises and coordinates implementation against the SESAR Deployment Programme which is a project view of the Common Projects organizing their implementation into optimum sequences of activities by all the stakeholders required to implement. To develop and maintain the SESAR Deployment Programme in close consultation with all the stakeholders is another important task under the SDM function.
