International freight transportation: key piece of the supply chain

International transport: today’s challenges

Since the 1990s, the volume of goods transported internationally has grown exponentially.

Not only that, the more the distance of transport increases, the more convenient (if not necessary in some cases) it may be to choose combined forms of transport that combine sections by land, air, rail and/or ship. In these cases, punctuality and professionalism turn out to be even more important, especially when it comes to properly handling customs paperwork.

In addition, the evolution of transportation systems pushes all of us in the industry to constantly update technologies and means. For this reason, every day ISS Palumbo strives to build solid and long-lasting partnerships in order to offer our customers a more and more efficient service.
