CargoLine gains Arco Spedizioni as new partner for Milan and Lombardy

CargoLine expands its Italian expertise: Arco Spedizioni becomes new partner for Milan and Lombardy

Frankfurt: 16.10.2026

CargoLine, the cooperation for intercontinental groupage transport, is strengthening its network in Italy. Effective 1 January 2027, Arco Spedizioni S.p.A. from Monza will join as a new partner in the Milan area and Lombardy, one of Italy's most economically powerful regions.

Existing partnerships elsewhere in Italy will remain unchanged. At the start of the cooperation, Arco will connect daily to the central hub in Niederaula, in addition to the existing direct services.

From its headquarters in Monza, Arco operates an extensive route network. All Italian regional capitals are served every day. A large vehicle fleet and its own warehouse capacity enable the transport and temporary storage of a wide range of goods.

For CargoLine customers, the partnership means additional capacity and even denser coverage of Italy, particularly in the greater Milan area and Lombardy.

"With Arco Spedizioni, we are gaining a highly attractive partner for our network," says Andreas Witzigmann, Head of International at CargoLine. "Arco is an excellent partner for our HUB traffic and at the same time opens up opportunities for the further development of direct services by our partners into the greater Milan area."
