Expressing satisfaction with the completion of the new area, the president of Interporto Padova, Franco Pasqualetti, highlighted that the company tries to always be in step with the market and, if possible, to anticipate it in his needs: "we succeed - he explained - even because, next to the real estate part, about 280 thousand meters paintings of warehouses of our property always totally rented, we decided to do logistics in first person. The intermodal terminal is owned and operated by us directly from us. This allows us great flexibility and the opportunity to adapt in real time our structures to market trends».

"The next goal - added Pasqualetti - will be the total automation of the handling operations of the terminal. In our opinion, the future rests on two pillars: digitalization of the entire document and management part and terminal automation. We will be the first in Italy. And all this, I would like to remind you of this, with a balance that is always positive: last year year we have reached almost 40 million as a value of production with 2.9 million in net profit, thanks also to the 386 thousand containers enlivened with over 8,000 trains entering and leaving the terminal. We are the proven proof that the public can also provide quality services and make useful».
