Made in Italy, sold globally: Santini Cycling produces 7,000 specialized clothing products every day. They’re all designed, engineered and manufactured exclusively in Italy, but the company exports 85% to more than 65 countries all over the world.
“Each market has its own characteristics,” said Monica Santini, CEO of Santini Cycling. “There’s different legislation and documentation. Having such a vast market gives us an enormous opening to the world but also a devastating complexity.”
That’s why partnering with the right logistics partner is part of Santini’s success. UPS takes that complexity and makes it simple – and UPS’s brokerage systems minimize risk of delays for cross-border shipping. That means Santini can focus its time and energy on growing the business and developing innovative products for pedaling enthusiasts around the world.
Doubling down: UPS has 19 facilities strategically located throughout Italy, with the facility at Bergamo’s Orio al Serio Airport recently doubling in capacity. By the way, it’s also powered by 100% renewable electricity!
“We’re investing in every part of our network to create the best quality service for our customers,” said Francisco Conejo, country manager, UPS Italy. “Our investments in the country are a testament to how we’re ready to bring ‘Made in Italy’ to the world.”
UPS specializes in helping small businesses scale up, compete and grow. Find more information here if you’re interested in following in Santini’s footsteps.
