MLK Deliveries enabled for temperaturecontrolled transport Deliveries
Poste Italiane supports Italian food and wine SMEs
In March 2023, a partnership was finalised between MLK Deliveries S.p.A and the company Mazzocco Srl, in order to enable the logistics operator to perform temperature-controlled transport, i.e. A mode of transport that involves maintaining a constant temperature inside the vehicle – whether hot or cold – whatever the outside temperature. This partnership is aimed at building a unique offer dedicated mainly to Italian food and wine SMEs. The offer includes the combination of logistics assets, such as logistics distribution platforms and a temperature-controlled last mile fleet, with scheduled delivery solutions. The solution developed thanks to the collaboration between the two companies combines the technology of MLK Deliveries, which will receive customer bookings for scheduled deliveries, with the Mazzocco Srl cold logistics platform.
During 2023, a pilot delivery chain was launched in major Italian cities. Specifically, as of 31 December 2023, the provinces where the service is active are: Turin, Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Pavia, Mantua, Cremona, Verona, Vicenza, Padua, Parma, Bologna, Modena, Reggio Emilia, Florence, Prato, Pistoia, Livorno, Rome, Empoli, Piacenza. At the beginning of 2024, the service was also extended to the cities of Genoa and Pisa.
Furthermore, in January 2024, the joint venture ‘MLK Fresh’ was established between the two companies and the new product ‘Postegofresh’ was launched.
