PHILADELPHIA and MILAN, September 6, 2007 -- BDP Italia SpA, part of BDP International (BDP), a leading global logistics and transportation management company, has opened an office at the Avioport Logistic Park of Lonate Pozzolo-Malpensa (Varese).

The new office will expand BDP's Italian network with headquarters in Milan and branches in Bologna, Florence, Turin and Vicenza and leverage its strategic location to support the entire BDP Italia organization.

BDP Italia was incorporated in 2005 after the company's President, Antonio Sgarbi, decided to introduce to the Italian market BDP's logistic services for the chemical, pharmaceutical, technology, iron and steel, machinery and fashion industries. The company is an integral part of BDP's strategy to consolidate its European network, which in the wake of acquisitions in the Netherlands, France, Belgium and Germany, sees Italy as a further important link in creating a balanced offering to bridge the United States and Asian markets.

The new Malpensa-based hub also will carry out operations aimed at further enhancing the foothold of BDP Italia SpA in serving the international and national logistics and transportation markets.

"The opening of a Malpensa office will enable us to not only improve our structure and speed of services, such as real-time shipment monitoring and trouble-shooting contingency problems, but also to reap economic savings, leaving us free to deploy our resources in the creation of customized services," said BDP Italia's Sgarbi. "The new operations center, staffed with highly qualified air cargo professionals, will also be responsible for supporting the other Italian branches in their relations with a key international airport."
