WITHCARE
The ALPI Group is a family-owned business, where the priority and focus is on our customers, not shareholders. A recognized player in the freight forwarding and transportation industry, where employees and customers are treated like family, with long term customer relationships.
At ALPI, our employees are empowered to make decisions to benefit our clients, to go the extra step with confidence.
In the European tradition, we consider freight forwarding and logistics a profession, not a job. Since 1945, our company has established best practice standards in ground transportation,
air and ocean shipments, customs clearance, and supply chain management. Whether we are working with a small business or a Fortune 500 company, our experienced, well-trained
staff does everything we can to exceed every client’s individual expectations, every day.
In the European tradition, we consider freight forwarding and logistics to be a profession, not just a job.

VAROENWITHCARE
It’s personal to us. It starts with superb customer service, from origin to destination. At ALPI, we don’t have answering machines because we believe the relationships formed with our customers are what set us apart, and are what is truly important. We are passionate about the total customer experience, providing the same attention and motivation today as when the company was a small courier in post WWII Italy. This is why our slogan is “With Care”. It means the same in every language. It’s in the details.
Over the last 70 years, our company has grown to over 1000 dedicated and committed professionals around the globe. It’s still a family run business, where our staff handles each shipment as if it was their own personal property. With
unchanged passion, we strive to balance a growing company in a highly
competitive industry, with family ethics and social responsibility; we’re linked to our community and work to maintain its environment.
We make it Personal
