About us

Unleashing the power of International Logistics
Our journey since 1993

This is Albatrans

With just one office in Florence, Italy, during a time when telexes, faxes, and landlines dominated the world of communication, we laid the foundation of a strategic plan with a global vision. By expanding our network of branches across all five continents, we have solidified our structure and established a widespread presence in the world.

OUR STRENGTH

The logistics group that Albatrans is part of offers all the advantages of large multinationals, while still allowing us to maintain a human-scale dimension. We provide the best of both worlds by offering a professional service with a personal touch. It has always been our motto, and we take it seriously.

We have come a long way and will continue to move forward, looking into the future.
