We started working with the footwear industry, but from September we will launch a collaboration with some of the local wineries. We are doing it as an experiment, we designed a box for the transportation of bottles of wine, with a hive of practical and ecological cardboard and Selvatelle in our warehouse there is a cold storage ready for use.
In 2017 we will open another warehouse in Pontedera, our customers always ask us availability of new spaces and new services. Our strength is the maximum availability and flexibility. ” In the future of Duologica there is also a whole made in Pontedera platform for e-commerce, which could be born as a contribution to the work of new generations of fathers.
