CEVA Logistics has adopted automotive pursuits, launching TireCity, a hub dedicated to the warehousing, handling and cross-docking of products in the region's tyre sector.
The new 164,000 square-foot hub is strategically located in Somaglia, in the province of Lodi, about 31 miles southeast of Milan.
In addition to TireCity, CEVA operates other sector-specific hubs in Italy, including City of Books, City of Pharma and Tech City, devoted to publishing, healthcare and electronics, respectively.
"This hub is the beginning of a strategic course of growth in the automotive sector in Italy that starts from tyres as a key and vital element for vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles and industrial and agricultural vehicles," said Giuseppe Chiellino, CEVA's Managing Director, Italy.
