The Logistics Pole of the Italian State Railways (FS), through Mercitalia Logistics, and Marcegaglia Carbon Steel, have inked a deal for the design and implementation of terminals and railway connections. This initiative aims to manage a new fleet of wagons dedicated to serving the transportation needs of the steel group. The collaboration will also explore the development of innovative logistical solutions for the inbound and outbound railway transportation from Marcegaglia's facilities.
The first project under this partnership will take place in the province of Mantua, where an eleven-kilometer railway connection will be constructed between the Castellucchio station and the Marcegaglia plant in Gazoldo degli Ippoliti. Antonio and Emma Marcegaglia, leaders of the Marcegaglia Group, shared that "this new mode of transportation will complement the solutions we already employ for territorial flows and is essential for the growth prospects, primarily, of the Gazoldo degli Ippoliti plant."
