After a few years, identifying the increasing difficulties associated with long-distances transportation, Domenico Ambrogio decided to focus on intermodality and to integrate the best potential of rail and road.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ambrogio Trasporti S.p.A. was founded in 1969 <\/strong><\/p>\n

50 years later, the Ambrogio Group operates through a private European network<\/strong>, with 7 rail terminals, a fleet of 400 freight wagons and over 1,300 intermodal units.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1551955039614{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;}”][vc_row][vc_column]
