Returning to rail

Italian timber trader Barbieri Fratelli imports over 150,000 cubic metres of green wood from France annually. A few years ago, all its lumber arrived by lorry, but this changed in 2015. At the end of 2015, DB Cargo Logistics and Italian timber company Barbieri commenced talks and started looking into a reliable solution for the end-to-end rail transport needs of the family-owned firm, in existence since 1982.
