France, Germany, and Italy are the three chosen countries by Palibex to start the international development of the network, even though they hope to keep adding new destinations soon.
In France, the generator of the biggest traffic volume with Spain, the network will work with Transports Clot-Group Volupal, “the best French transport company of palletized goods and capable of covering a big part of the country in only 24 hours”, according to Lluís Gay, Palibex’s International Director. “Despite the complexity of delivering in a country organized in a radial form and divided in multiple zones, we will offer a good quality service with shorter transit times” he notes.
In Germany, Spain’s second biggest client in Europe, Palibex will cover nearly all the country in 24 hours through the Libra Logistics-Group OnLine, guaranteeing demanding schedule compromises. Moreover, as Lluís Gay indicates: “Germany is very important for us because it will be useful to reach, in a next phase, more than a dozen of countries in the center of Europe”.
Lastly, Palibex has also started their services to Italy with the company BRT, with which they will offer transit times of 48-72 hours. Their objective in this case is to guarantee the same quality deliveries in all the country. “There are carriers that cover the north, but very few that do a good job in the south. That’s why we have focused on finding a company that complies soberly with the hired services in all points in Italy”, they claim.
Both Jaime Colsa and the main project leaders, Lluis Gay, Palibex’s international director, and the general manager of the new international HUB, Jordi Obach, have shown a high level of enthusiasm towards these plans, that had to be postponed for months due to the sudden apparition of COVID19, but where they currently focus their strategy for 2021.
