Freight from Bologna to the Czech Republic — tiles, machinery, food
Knapek Spedition moves freight from Bologna and Emilia-Romagna to Czechia: the Sassuolo tile district, Packaging Valley (IMA, Coesia), Lamborghini, Ducati, Parma food. About 950 km, 2–3 days.
Emilia-Romagna means tiles, packaging machinery and food.
Emilia-Romagna manufactures for the whole of Europe. We usually bring tiles, packaging machinery and food from here to the Czech Republic in 2–3 days.
Who manufactures in the region
Sassuolo and Fiorano Modenese — Europe's largest centre of ceramic tile production.
Bologna — Packaging Valley — makers of packaging and filling machines (IMA, Coesia) and their suppliers.
Sant’Agata Bolognese and Borgo Panigale — Lamborghini and Ducati.
Parma and Modena — Parma ham, Parmesan, balsamic vinegar.
Tiles from Sassuolo
Ceramics are heavy — a truckload of tiles hits the 24 t limit before the deck is full. We therefore place pallets according to weight and axle load distribution. Large-format slabs travel in racks. Smaller orders for tile shops go into groupage runs.
Machines from Packaging Valley
Packaging lines travel in crates, often in sections. Depending on dimensions we choose a curtainsider or a flatbed, secure the crates and arrange crane loading for unusual sizes.
