For Italian brands and manufacturers
Your U.S. warehouse team for Italian brands and manufacturers
Made in Italy sells in America. The pallets and the paperwork are the hard part. We take that part: containers in, wholesale and consumer orders out.
Written answer within one business day. No call needed. Write in Italian, we answer in Italian.
The U.S. end of an Italian supply chain
- Your U.S. distributor wants stock on this side, delivered on their schedule, not yours.
- A full container arrives and nobody local takes responsibility for it.
- You sell both to businesses and to consumers, and need one partner for both.
We run the U.S. end of your supply chain
We unload full containers by hand, receive pallets and cartons, and store them. From there we ship pallets to distributors and project sites, and parcels to consumers. Larger brands can rent dedicated space with their own area on the floor.
We are headquartered in Houston, a center of the U.S. energy, oil-field and industrial market. Industrial parts, machinery and spare-parts stock are part of our daily work. Project shipments that need repacking onto new pallets: ask us.
The route to the U.S.
By sea
Italian goods usually leave from a Tyrrhenian port such as Genoa, La Spezia or Livorno, or from Trieste or Venice on the Adriatic. They cross the Mediterranean and the Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico, or land on the U.S. East Coast and come by truck. Genoa and La Spezia have direct Gulf sailings of about four weeks; cargo from Livorno, Trieste and Venice changes ship and takes longer.
By air
Samples fly from Milan Malpensa or Rome Fiumicino. Standard air freight usually lands within a week.
What we receive
Your forwarder handles the freight. We receive full containers, LCL, pallets and cartons.
Time difference
Texas is seven hours behind Italy. Our working day starts during your afternoon.
What Italian companies ask
Information only. We point you to a licensed broker.
Who imports
Your S.p.A. or S.r.l. is the importer of record. We receive the goods; we are not the consignee.

Every SKU needs its ten-digit HTS code and the country of origin.
