Their logistics, ware housing and travel and fleet team are responsible for moving the
goods to location all across the globe. In regional areas they hire FedEx to transport
their goods to customers and retail outlets all over Italy.

As they are the global business entity, they acquire the services of SDV for all the
transportation of the products from the manufacturing plants in Italy to their
warehouses outside of Italy, and the distribution from the warehouses to all the retail
outlets in the country is done by SDV also.

They have outsourced their transportation/ travel and fleet to third party contractors
mentioned above. The reason they chose SDV for international transportation is due
to their vast experience and having their own network of 600 offices in 99 countries.
SDV is a subsidiary of Bolloré, which ranks among the world’s top 10 in transport and
logistics. Its core business has always been intercontinental air and ocean freight
transportation but now they have broadened the scope of its expertise and is now a
global leader in supply chain management.
