New groupage services between Tuscany and Germany

First to launch was a twice-weekly link between Prato, near Florence, and Stuttgart, while a second route between Prato and Frankfurt began in early September.

Run in conjunction with a specialist German freight partner, the services enhance the Group’s links with southern and western Germany where Transmec has three branches.

Prato branch manager, Alessandro Serafini, said: “The service initially operated via Transmec’s hub at Campogalliano, but it has proved so successful that we decided to run it directly and then add a second location in Germany."

“It provides a great opportunity for customers to move freight quickly and cost-effectively between important economic regions in the two countries.”
