Dipping its toe in the Italian automotive sector, CEVA Logistics launched TireCity, a hub solely for the warehousing, handling and cross-docking of products in the region’s tire sector. The hub covers an area of 164,000 square-feet and is strategically located in Somaglia, in the province of Lodi, about 31 miles southeast of Milan.
Along with TireCity, CEVA’s other sector-specific hubs in Italy are City of Books, City of Pharma and Tech City, dedicated 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 tires 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.
