STRENGTHENING ITALY - IBERIAN PENINSULA

2022.07.19
Raben SITTAM strengthens its connection between Italy and the Iberian Peninsula: new daily connections between Italy and Spain and Italy-Portugal are active. Raben Group has been investing in the expansion of an international connection system for several years and is now present with more than 160 branches in 15 countries that, with their extensive transport network, guarantee almost total coverage of the whole of Europe. The Group chooses to look further and not stop there, Raben Group remains active in existing markets, investing particularly in those with the best growth prospects. This is the case of countries such as Italy, Spain and Portugal that have seen an increase in the frequency of overland transports that, in particular from the Cornaredo hub, headquarter of Raben SITTAM, but not only, will reach the main centres of the two countries on a daily basis.

Thanks to the presence of a new Spanish partner that can boast a capillary network of more than 70 depots in Spain, with the possibility of reaching the entire domestic network from the main international hubs of Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza, Irun and Valencia, Raben SITTAM will be able to guarantee all its customers a better quality of service and distribution performance with delivery within 48 hours from the main international hubs.

At the same time, customers who need to ship their goods to Portugal will also benefit from an enhanced service with direct departures from all of Raben SITTAM's hubs in Italy, thanks to the partner's own fleet, whose power and capillarity throughout the country allow connections to take a clear step forward in terms of service quality and IT interchange. In particular, there will be dedicated trucks that, on a bi-weekly basis, will travel, among others, along the Milan - Lisbon and Milan - Porto routes to guarantee the quality and speed of service that has always characterised all Raben SITTAM activities.

As stated by Wojciech Brzuska, CEO of Raben SITTAM:

When a new country appears on Raben's map, the local distribution network is almost immediately connected to the other countries where the Group is present via direct international routes. We have seen proof of this recently with the acquisitions of Greece's Intertrans and Austria's Bexity, which have also enabled Raben SITTAM and all its customers to benefit from enhanced connections to some of the most important hubs in south-eastern and central Europe such as the international hub of Piraeus and Innsbruck," said Wojciech Brzuska.

As always, all route users will benefit from a 360° monitoring of shipments, thanks to the modern IT solutions provided by Raben SITTAM. These include a proprietary shipment management system, as well as the digital services MyRaben, for tracking shipments; MyOrder, for autonomously entering orders and proceeding with the shipment process, then following its movements with the Track & Trace tool; and MyOffer - also available in the "anonymous" mode dedicated to customers who do not yet have an account in myRaben - for requesting a SPOT offer h24 with the possibility of confirmation through a single click.
