We offer an efficient groupage freight service, door to door.
Groupage is a flexible, secure, inexpensive way of shipping small quantities of your goods together with other lots, on standard routes.
Our dense network of international correspondents enables us to guarantee customised service, to satisfy all your requirements and optimise the freight operation.
Why use the groupage system?
You don’t always have large amounts of goods for shipment, so groupage may be the ideal, least expensive solution for your delivery.
With this system, small lots of goods shipped by different customers in the same country, addressed to different consignees, are combined to form a single lot. In a subsequent operation known as consolidation, the lots will then be grouped together in a load unit.
The groupage system originated with the containerisation of freight operations and the option of purchasing just part of the space in a container (or vehicle), allowing optimised shipment of small lots, saving money and space.

What are the benefits of groupage?
Groupage is a special type of shipment ideal for those who have small amounts of goods for forwarding. It brings together and combines different lots of goods (from different shippers for different consignees) to make up a space lot within a load unit, which may be a vehicle, a pallet or a container. The benefit is considerable financial savings, since the freight costs are split amongst all those using the service, and are thus sharply lower.
The forwarder's role is fundamental
The management of this type of freight operation is crucial; the forwarder has to coordinate the various clients’ shipments, as well as effectively organising and combining widely varying lots of goods.
In groupage, the commercial documents the shipper supplies with the material are fundamental; they must provide as much detail as possible to simplify the correct combination of the various shipments.
We assure you a reliable, safe groupage service. Our many years’ experience in the sector enable us to organise any type of freight operation with ease to ensure it provides speed and quality.
