Giovaruscio Moving, one of the leading trade movers in Europe has made the big step and opened an office in the US. “Given the current situation in Europe, it was time to explore new markets and possibilities,” said Giuseppe Giovaruscio, the company’s owner.

 

“The company has been steadily growing over the last 15 years, and I believe there is scope to offer our services to American companies in the same way we do to European."

 

The US company has been open since late October 2013, doing origin and destination services for the London and Italy branches. As from the 1 May, it was fully operational starting a weekly service between NY and Italy via London. The company said that its objective is to cut transit times for consolidated shipments from what’s on offer right now (up to 90 days) to 35, but with an eye on the prices, trying to stay as competitive as possible.

 

“Our aim is to offer our usual quality service to US companies in the way we serve European Companies, quick, reliable and with affordable rates,” said Giuseppe. “We know that the market, especially in the New Jersey area is saturated with companies that offer consolidation services. We do not want to tread on anybody’s feet, we won’t take on shipments for any other part of Europe, as we know we cannot be competitive. We can, however, offer a service that right now is not there, or at least not as quick or as cost effective as what we are planning to offer.”

 

Giovaruscio said that the deep-sea service combined with the trucking will guarantee continuity, as it will all be done ‘in house’.  Shipments will be transferred from the container straight onto trucks and will be delivered to Italy the following week.

 

The company’s warehouse and offices are in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The US branch will be staffed by Luca Meton, who will also be liaising with the Italian community in the area.
