Freight from Puglia to western Europe

Puglia's road exports

Puglia produces and exports. Olive oil, wine, fruit and vegetables, preserves. Marble, stone, ceramics. Furniture, textiles, industrial components. These products reach the markets of France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Luxembourg every week.

The historical problem is the distance from the major logistics corridors of northern Italy. A company in Bari or Lecce that needs to ship to Paris or Brussels needs a carrier that knows the territory and the routes. Italfrance S.r.l. was founded in Bisceglie in 2011 for exactly this reason.

Routes from Puglia

Road corridors from Puglia to Europe follow two main axes. The choice depends on the final destination and conditions on the Alpine sections.

• Adriatic axis (A14): Bisceglie → Bari → Bologna → Brenner → Austria → towards Belgium and the Netherlands
• Tyrrhenian axis (A14 → A1): Bisceglie → Bari → Bologna → Turin → Frejus → Lyon → Paris
• Coastal route: Bisceglie → Naples → Rome → Genoa → Ventimiglia → southern France
• To Spain: Bisceglie → Rome → Genoa → Ventimiglia → French coast → Spain

What Puglia companies ship

Our 5,000 sqm warehouse in Bisceglie handles different goods every week. The agri-food sector is strong: olive oil, wine, preserves, pasta, fruit and vegetables. The stone sector is equally important: marble, limestone, processed granite.

We serve over 500 active companies from Bisceglie, Bari, Altamura, Taranto, Lecce, Brindisi and Foggia. Knowledge of Puglia's production fabric allows us to organise efficient collections and fast consolidation.

The advantage of a local carrier

A carrier based in Puglia knows the roads, the companies and the rhythms of the territory. Collection is direct, without intermediaries. There is no need to bring goods to a hub in northern Italy before departing for Europe.

Italfrance operates with a company-owned fleet and qualified drivers. Departures are weekly both outbound and return. Return trips from France and the Benelux to Puglia allow us to keep costs under control.
