The Italian fruit and vegetable logistics sector is undergoing a significant strategic makeover. AL SAKR GROUP, an Egyptian exporter of high-quality fresh produce with experience in international markets since 2024, is implementing a project that will make it the first Egyptian company with a permanent warehouse in Italy. Based in Cairo, Egypt, AL SAKR GROUP aims to distinguish itself in the fruit and vegetable sector by providing substantial logistical and commercial value to supply chain operators in the Italian and European markets.

Simplified B2B logistics and acquisition
This investment includes opening an office in the Milan area with a warehouse dedicated to storing, selling, and distributing Egyptian produce throughout Italy.
Claudio Iccardi will oversee the Italian branch as the sales and marketing manager for Italy and Europe. Iccardi emphasizes that having a physical office in Italy enables customers in the sector, including wholesalers, large-scale retailers, and shopkeepers, to purchase products directly. This streamlines the importation process, offering customers the opportunity to personally examine the products that pique their interest.

The Italian warehouse of the Al Sakr Group can provide large-scale retailers and traders with direct AxA (door-to-door) shipments. This direct shipping option significantly benefits the Italian fruit and vegetable market by addressing the logistical challenges of overseas purchasing. Otherwise, customers must wait for shipping, customs clearance, and subsequent shipment to their destinations. Optimizing time and procedures increases the supply chain's overall efficiency.
Assurance backed by certifications
The AL SAKR GROUP is deeply committed to excellence, sustainability, and innovation at every stage of logistics. From harvest to delivery, every step of the process is carefully managed. A pivotal point is our absolute respect for the cold chain, which ensures that each product is delivered to customers in optimal condition.

The AL SAKR GROUP holds the following certifications: ISO 22000, which ensures high-level food safety management systems in all operations; HACCP, which guarantees compliance with hazard analysis and critical control points for food safety; and GlobalGAP, which verifies adherence to good agricultural practices for sustainable agriculture. The selection also includes organic products that meet strict cultivation standards.
