BOLOGNA GETS A NEW LOOK: RABEN ITALY STRENGTHENS ITS CONNECTIONS WITH EUROPE

Raben Italy guarantees comprehensive coverage throughout Italy, particularly in north-central Italy in Bologna. The capital of Emilia Romagna is consolidating its strategic role in the national and international logistics landscape, increasingly becoming a reference point for domestic connections, but also between Italy and Central and Eastern Europe. Thanks to a structured network of daily connections, the Emilia Romagna hub guarantees regular departures to numerous European destinations, with a particular focus on Germany and Poland, key markets for trade.

Direct, daily connections with various logistics hubs in Germany and Poland allow for comprehensive coverage of both countries, ensuring fast and reliable delivery times, generally between 48 and 72 hours. This efficient system translates into over 250 daily shipments handled on German and Polish routes, confirming the operational centrality of the Bologna hub.

But that's not all. Bologna is not limited to international traffic; the branch is also a key hub for national logistics, which is booming in 2026: shipments from central and southern Italy converge here, where they are consolidated and re-routed onto the main national and international lines. The modern, well-organized facility is designed to handle growing volumes and ensure high operating standards. Around 30 professionals work here, including office staff, warehouse operators, and drivers, who are involved in the daily management and coordination of logistics flows.

To support its operational activities and customer relations, Raben Italy uses advanced digital tools such as the myRaben platform, which allows shipments to be monitored and ETAs estimated, and myOrder, which allows quick quotes to be obtained. Other technologies such as SMARTOUR, which optimizes operational efficiency and delivery coordination, further simplify delivery planning. In addition, drivers are equipped with handheld devices that provide timely updates, while the TISLOG GPS system ensures continuous tracking of vehicles. The infrastructure is completed by the MyStock service, a tool dedicated to Contract Logistics, which allows customers to entrust their goods to third parties and store them in Raben Italy's warehouses, ensuring quality, reliability, and efficiency at every stage of the logistics process.

The expansion of the Bologna hub represents a fundamental step in our growth in Emilia-Romagna and in strengthening connections within Italy and between Italy and Central and Eastern Europe," comments Yari Pioletti, Branch Manager of the Bologna branch. "Thanks to daily connections to Germany and Poland and a modern, well-organized facility, we are able to offer our customers fast delivery times and reliable service, with comprehensive coverage in 48-72 hours. Bologna is not only a strategic transit point for international flows, but also a central hub for national distribution, capable of efficiently connecting northern, central, and southern Italy. This allows us to respond flexibly to market needs and to provide concrete support for the development of local businesses.

With its solid infrastructure, daily international connections, and an increasingly central role in the national network, Bologna confirms its position as one of the main logistics hubs in Emilia-Romagna and a key point for connections between Italy and Europe.
