Logista Launches New Transit Point in Gricignano di Aversa

Logista inaugurates today the new Transit Point of Gricignano di Aversa, a facility equipped with suitable equipment to supply smoking and inhalation products, as well as convenience products such as gadgets, lighters, food & beverage, and stationery, serving over 1,800 retail outlets located in the areas of Naples and Caserta and their respective provinces. The new depot has a total surface area of 5,669 square meters, of which, more than 400 are reserved for Cash&Carry. In the external yard, there are spaces for 3 semi-trailers, 15 bays for vans, and a large parking area. Charging stations for electric vehicles have also been installed for customers and employees. The structure, designed according to rigorous criteria in terms of energy efficiency, has been deemed suitable for the Breeam certification process, which ensures the sustainability of buildings (the process initiated will conclude by the summer). Logista has long adopted a sustainability-oriented strategy that permeates all activities: from the use of renewable energy sources in 99% of operational sites; to the reuse and recycling of Logista Green Boxes, the cardboard boxes with which goods are delivered every day; to the activation of RECYCLE-CIG, the organized circuit that allows consumers to dispose of exhausted electronic cigarettes in special containers inside participating tobacconists. Federico Rella, vice president and director of Corporate Affairs Logista Italia, stated: 'The Transit Points are the tangible expression of Logista's widespread presence on the national territory, which, through innovative solutions, allows an ever better access to the market for stakeholders, with benefits for the entire supply chain. The new Cash&Carry of Gricignano will allow us to offer increasingly higher levels of service and quality standards, also in terms of diversification and sustainability.' Mario Antonelli, national president of the Italian Federation of Tobacconists, stated: 'The Cash&Carry of Gricignano will be an important reference point for all tobacconists in the territory. Indeed, we have already realized that the opening of new concept deposits facilitates the supply of Outlets. I therefore thank Logista for investing in an ever more sustainable development also in this territory.' Present at the inauguration: Agostino Santillo, vice president of the M5S Group in the Chamber and member of the Environment, Territory and Public Works Committee; Marzia Inserra and Nicola Orsatti from the Monopoly Office for Campania, representing the Customs and Monopolies Agency, and Pietro Santonastaso, general director of ASI Caserta.
