Freight forwarder in Reggio Emilia: direct transport from the UK to the Po valley
Reggio Emilia is a city of machine builders and food producers, and a freight forwarder in Reggio Emilia has to deliver components and equipment when they are needed. DAGO Express sends a single vehicle from your UK site directly to the recipient in Reggio Emilia. Your goods are not merged into a groupage load that calls at several terminals along the way, and they do not pass through any cross-dock. That lowers the risk of damage, saves handling time and makes the arrival date easier to plan for your road freight.
You can generally count on collection 60 to 120 minutes after booking, and you are free to fix a specific loading time instead if that suits your production schedule better. Our punctuality rate is documented at 99.5 %.
Goods we move to Reggio Emilia
Hydraulic and mechatronic components, agricultural machinery and spare parts, ceramic materials, packaging, furniture and textiles are among the typical loads we handle. Companies in the province also ship cheese, tiles, machines and fashion products to customers in the UK. The same direct service works from Emilia to Britain just as it does in the other direction.

Logistics in Reggio Emilia: engineering, ceramics and Parmigiano
Reggio Emilia has around 170,000 inhabitants and holds a special place in Italian history as the birthplace of the national tricolour flag in 1797. Internationally, the city is also known for its approach to early childhood education. Economically, it is one of the most productive areas of Emilia-Romagna, with a dense network of small and medium-sized manufacturers.
Mechanical engineering is the backbone of the local economy. Companies in and around the city build hydraulic systems, gear units, agricultural machinery and tractor components, as well as mechatronic assemblies for customers worldwide. In the south of the province, Casalgrande, Scandiano and Castellarano form part of the ceramic tile district that extends across the border to Sassuolo. Fashion and clothing firms, dairies producing Parmigiano Reggiano and food processors complete the picture. Together, these sectors generate steady demand for haulage in both directions between Italy and the UK.
Next to the A1, the Mediopadana high-speed railway station, designed by Santiago Calatrava, has become a landmark and a business location in its own right. The exhibition grounds of Fiere di Reggio Emilia host regional trade fairs and events throughout the year. Exhibitors need their stands and display goods delivered there on time.
The route from the UK to Reggio Emilia
Starting with the Dover–Calais ferry or Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Coquelles, the vehicle crosses France and reaches Italy through the Fréjus or Mont Blanc Tunnel. Via Turin and the A21, or via Milan, it arrives at Piacenza and joins the A1 Autostrada del Sole, which runs south-east past Parma to Reggio Emilia. The motorway exit lies on the northern edge of the city, close to the Mancasale industrial area, so many businesses can be reached without crossing the city centre.
From Germany and Austria, the Brenner route is an attractive alternative: the A22 descends from the pass via Bolzano, Trento and Verona to Campogalliano, and from there it is only a short stretch west on the A1 to Reggio Emilia. Italian weekend and holiday bans for heavy lorries are factored in on either route.
Customs for goods to Reggio Emilia
Italy is part of the EU customs territory, so goods sent from Great Britain need an export declaration in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. Exporter and importer must each hold an EORI number. Before the vehicle crosses at Dover or Folkestone, GVMS links the declarations to it through a Goods Movement Reference. DAGO Express does not handle customs clearance, so please have your customs agent prepare everything in time for collection.
Collection and delivery in Reggio Emilia and the surrounding area
Our deliveries cover the old town inside the hexagonal ring of avenues, the Mancasale industrial area in the north, Pieve Modolena and Santa Croce, and the business parks along the Via Emilia. Around the city we also serve Cavriago, Bibbiano, Sant'Ilario d'Enza, Bagnolo in Piano, Correggio, Rubiera, Albinea and Quattro Castella. The ceramic towns of Scandiano, Casalgrande and Castellarano, as well as Novellara, Guastalla and Montecchio Emilia, can be added as further stops.
The historic centre has a limited traffic zone, while factories in the industrial areas usually work with fixed receiving hours. Share these details when booking so that the arrival fits the site and the unloading can start without waiting time.
The right vehicle for your goods
Tiles and heavy machine parts often call for an articulated lorry with 13.6 loading metres, 33 pallets and up to 24 tonnes. A 6 LDM lorry takes 14 pallets and up to 2,400 kg for medium-sized orders. If the receiver has no forklift, a van with a tail lift and a pallet truck unloads up to eight pallets, provided no single package weighs more than 550 kg. This makes a pallet delivery possible even where there is no unloading equipment on site.
Deliveries to more than 38 countries
Your freight forwarder for loads between the UK and Reggio Emilia

Frequently asked questions about freight transport in Reggio Emilia
How many pallets can freight transport in Reggio Emilia carry?
Capacity depends on pallet dimensions, weight and the vehicle. Share the shipment details so we can plan a suitable truck.
Can I request a tail lift for freight transport in Reggio Emilia?
Yes. Tell us if neither the pickup nor delivery site has a loading dock or forklift; we will check the availability of a suitable vehicle.
When should I choose a part load or a full truck load for Reggio Emilia?
That depends on volume, weight and delivery date. A part load shares available space; a full load reserves a vehicle for your freight.
Small and urgent shipment? See courier service in Reggio Emilia
How quickly can you collect freight for Reggio Emilia?
Collection generally takes place 60 to 120 minutes after booking. If your production schedule requires it, you can book a fixed collection time at your UK site instead.
Which motorway exit serves Reggio Emilia?
Reggio Emilia has its own exit on the A1 Autostrada del Sole, on the northern edge of the city near the Mancasale industrial area and the Mediopadana station.
Can you deliver to companies in the Mancasale industrial area?
Yes. Mancasale is one of our regular delivery areas. Please send us the receiving hours and any slot booking so that the vehicle arrives at the right moment.
Can I ship tiles from Casalgrande or Scandiano to the UK?
Yes. The service works in both directions, so tile producers in the south of the province can have their goods collected and delivered directly to customers in Great Britain.
Do you handle urgent spare parts for agricultural machinery?
Yes. For small, urgent consignments, a minivan with two pallets up to 450 kg or a van with four pallets up to 800 kg is often the fastest option.
What customs documents are required for freight to Reggio Emilia?
You need a UK export declaration, an EU import declaration and EORI numbers for exporter and importer. Your customs agent prepares the declarations before collection.
Is it possible to deliver inside the old town?
Yes, but the centre within the ring of avenues is a limited traffic zone. We plan a suitable vehicle and time window, so please mention the address when booking.
Which route do vehicles take from the UK to Reggio Emilia?
Usually through France and the Fréjus or Mont Blanc Tunnel, then the A1 from Piacenza. The Brenner route with the A22 to Campogalliano is a practical alternative.
