Torello Launches a Strategic Logistics Hub in Udine, Strengthening its Presence in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

11 Jul, 2024

Expanding its logistics network close to key production and consumption centers is at the core of Torello’s corporate strategy. The company is now present in Udine with a brand-new branch at Via Slovenia, 32 becoming a strategic reference point spanning an impressive 15,000 m2, ready to meet all the logistics needs of businesses in both the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region as well as those shipping products to the region. Udine (or “Udin” as it is called in the Friulian dialect) is located approximately 20 km from the Slovenian border and about 54 km from Austria in direct line. This puts the new branch in prime position, at the crossroads of major European transport routes: the east-west corridor (known as either the Corridor V or Mediterranean Corridor) and the north-south axis (Via Iulia Augusta, now recognised by the European Union as part of the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor). Therefore, it is strategically positioned along the route heading towards Austria and Eastern Europe.

A Comprehensive Range of Services

The Udine-based branch has been established in order to provide the full spectrum of Torello-branded services and to meet clients’ demands across several sectors of industry:

  • Secure,  sustainable national and international full truckload transport, supported by a modern fleet equipped with advanced GPS and visibility technologies.

  • Last-mile food distribution throughout the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, focusing on temperature-controlled transport. In this regard, Torello’s Udine-based branch is rightfully part of the DIF (Distribuzione Italiana Food – Italian Food Distribution) network, ensuring an even more efficient, widespread service, connecting over 40 affiliates covering the entire national territory and beyond.

  • Storage and handling of dry and temperature-controlled goods. The Udine-based branch houses spacious warehouses, for the storage and handling of all types of goods both at ambient and controlled temperatures.

A Modern, Strategic Branch

The Udine-based branch is designed to provide clients with the utmost level of service and efficiency, thanks to its key features:

  • A 1,500 m2 dry storage warehouse
  • A 1,500 m2 temperature-controlled warehouse, divided into areas to manage products at 0-4°C and 15-18°C
  • 150 m2 of office space

The Friuli-Venezia Giulia region has always been a key destination for Torello’s logistics flows: by opening this branch, the company has once again proved its commitment to meeting clients’ demands.

“We had been considering the possibility of establishing our presence in this region for some time, acknowledging the significance and logistical challenges it involves. Challenges in terms of logistics in this region motivated Torello to establish its direct presence here, to ensure that the company continues to meet its high standards. Unfortunately, despite extensive efforts to find local commercial partners who were able to meet our high standards, we were unsuccessful. This led to us making the decision to open our own facility. So, we rolled up our sleeves, and here we are in Udine!,” comments Umberto Torello.

The Udine-based branch is managed by a team of experienced, qualified professionals who put themselves at the disposal of clients, ready to provide them with personalised consultation and assistance services. With the opening of the branch in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Torello confirms its position as the ideal partner for companies seeking comprehensive, efficient and reliable logistics services. A true driver of their corporate success.
