UniCredit Subscribes Ambrogio Trasporti 10 Million Minibond with Green Guarantee of SACE

Ambrogio Trasporti has issued a minibond of 10 million euros, with a SACE Green guarantee, fully subscribed by UniCredit. The bond loan has a seven-year duration and is intended to support the company’s 2024/26 investment plan, which among other things includes investments and consolidations in its railway terminals in Domegliara (VR), Gallarate (VA) and Candiolo (TO).

Ambrogio Trasporti integrates road transport with the use of rail to best exploit the potential of both

Ambrogio Trasporti was founded in 1969 from the entrepreneurial vision of Domenico Ambrogio, who understood the difficulties of long-distance road transport in terms of safety and regularity. Strengthened by this belief, the company began to integrate road transport with the use of rail to best exploit the potential of both.

The distinctive element of the Ambrogio group lies in the ability to provide, with its own means and facilities, a combined door-to-door transport service that begins with the collection of the goods from the customer and ends with their delivery to the final recipient. At the moment, the company operates mainly in intermodal road/rail transport through 3 terminals in Italy (Candiolo TO – Gallarate VA – Domegliara VR) and 4 terminals managed by its subsidiaries Ambrogio NV (Mechelen – Belgium), Ambrogio GmbH (Neuss – Germany), Ambrogio Sa (Mouguerre and Le Boulou – France).

“We are pleased to support the sustainable growth path that Ambrogio Trasporti has undertaken with the 2024/26 investment plan,” said Paola Garibotti, Regional Manager North-West of UniCredit.

“Through this operation, in addition to reaffirming the validity of minibonds as effective tools for financing investments aimed at ecological transition and sustainability, we consolidate our leadership in the sector of bond issues in favor of small and medium-sized enterprises in the North-West for which we have structured 4 minibonds, for a total of 19 million euros in 2024, which brings the figure of 21 structured minibonds, from 2017 to today, for a total of 192 million euros.”

With numerous quality certifications, the Ambrogio Trasporti group has always stood out for its great attention to ecological and corporate sustainability, also through the use of innovative techniques that have led to the optimization of the weights of load units and railway wagons and the consequent increase in the length and net capacity of its trains, which today allow for an average saving of 70% of polluting emissions compared to all-road transport.

Ambrogio’s environmental vocation has also found consistent application in terminal management activities, leading to the investment in the Gallarate terminal of an electric gantry crane powered by the self-production of 220,000 kW/year generated by an innovative 2,500 m2 photovoltaic system installed on the roof of the headquarters.

“This agreement marks a decisive moment for the future of our intermodal transport business in Europe,” said Livio Ambrogio, Chairman of the Ambrogio Group.

“We are pleased with the foresight of Unicredit and SACE, who have chosen to support our commitment to innovation and environmentally friendly transport. The investments will be crucial for the development of our intermodal terminals, with a particular focus on the Domegliara (Verona) terminal, inaugurated in 2023 and strategically located on the Brenner route. These improvements will allow us to respond to the growing demand for sustainable transport solutions from our customers, promoting the modal shift of goods and contributing to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.”
