It is a great pleasure for me, as President of Transfrigoroute Italia, to host Transfrigoroute International's
Annual General Meeting this year and welcome you to Italy, in particular to the Campania region and the city
of Naples.
For me it is an exciting way to welcome you to my home, I was born in this region and here is where I live and I conduct
my business. I can only be proud of the exceptional beauties that will surround us during the days we will spend
together in the extraordinary setting of Naples.
Try putting a compass on the map and draw a circle around Naples: no other region in the world has such a
concentration of wonders like the Amalfi Coast, the Royal Palace of Caserta, Capri, Pompeii, Sorrento, Positano
and Ischia, just to mention some of the incomparable beauty of the Campania region.
Naples is the Italian capital of beauty, forged by centuries of history and culture. It is the capital of good
food, where pizza, mozzarella and the main dishes of Mediterranean cuisine were born. It is a welcoming city,
cosmopolitan and open to the world, with an exceptional mix of cultures and the proverbial hospitality of its
people. It is one of the main economic engines of Italy, a transportation hub with leading food industries
concerned with to the cold chain.
This and much more awaits you starting next September 26th. We have organised a dense program full of interesting
meetings for you to exchange on the future of temperature-controlled transport and logistics, including e-commerce
& urban distribution as well as temperature-controlled food supply chains and alternative power supply for
refrigerated vehicles. And of course, to make the most of the extraordinary beauty of this Italian region.
I look forward to host you with open arms in Naples!
Welcome to Italy!
Umberto Torello
President of Transfrigoroute Italia
