Multiple arrivals
Reception of trucks from different suppliers or slaughterhouses, even on the same day.
Refrigerated meat logistics
Refrigerated meat logistics
A refrigerated meat logistics hub for load consolidation, storage, hanging meat loading and unloading, and optimized departures along major Italian routes.
Cold chain
Meat warehouse, cold rooms and controlled handling
REL Food Italia operates as a third-party logistics platform for refrigerated meat, with spaces and procedures dedicated to hanging goods, vacuum-packed meat, fresh products and frozen products.
The Pontoglio site, between Brescia, Bergamo and Milan, supports rapid connections across Northern Italy, Central-Southern Italy and the main European transport routes.
Load consolidation
An operational hub to increase truck saturation
The service is not just unloading or storage: it is designed to help carriers and logistics companies reduce fragmented trips after loads enter Italy.
The operational issue
When the truck empties, the trip cost remains
Many carriers arrive from Northern Europe with full meat loads intended for several Italian clients. After the first deliveries, however, the truck progressively empties and continues with an increasingly lower saturation level.
REL Food Italia can receive trucks from different slaughterhouses or suppliers on the same day, unload the goods and rebuild flows based on destination areas.
Why consolidate in Pontoglio
- Improves the filling rate of outgoing vehicles
- Reduces kilometres driven with partially empty trucks
- Reduces the time international vehicles spend in Italy
- Organizes departures by homogeneous routes, including Central-Southern Italy
- Centralizes checks, traceability and health documentation
Goods unloading
Hanging meat handling on dedicated rail systems and cold chain control.
Flow rebuilding
Consolidation by delivery area, client or logistics route.
Departure
Loading of more saturated trucks toward the same route, with fewer fragmented legs.
Logistics flow
From receiving to storage

Verification
Checks on pH, color, S.E.U.R.O.P. classification and labeling.

Dedicated cold rooms for bone-in meat, fresh vacuum-packed meat and frozen products.
