Global Logistics Platform

International logistics and distribution for fragrance brands

Global Logistics Platform

International logistics and distribution for fragrance brands

For many manufacturers the project ends when the product leaves the production line. For BOLD it's only the beginning.

Our Global Logistics Platform brings together international logistics, logistics hubs in Italy and Switzerland, bonded warehouses, document management and worldwide distribution to turn production into a truly global system.

We create in Italy, coordinate the international supply chain and support distribution in the world’s main markets through a single operating platform.

That is why distribution is not a separate service, but the natural completion of our End-to-End Manufacturing Platform.

Production ends. The supply chain goes on. Making a product does not mean the project is complete. The product has to be:

  • stored
  • handled
  • prepared for export
  • cleared through customs
  • distributed to the right markets
  • delivered at the right time

Every phase affects the brand's costs, working capital, delivery times and competitiveness.

Two hubs, one operating flow

Logistics hubs in Italy and Switzerland

Hub in Italy

For the European market

For distribution in the European market: from the production line to storage and shipping, with no intermediate steps.

Hub in Switzerland

For non-EU brands

Designed for non-EU brands that want to enter the European market. Goods produced in Italy are stored in Switzerland, in a network of open bonded warehouses (Open Customs Warehouse, OCW), without paying 22% Italian VAT: VAT is only paid when the goods enter the EU market, in the destination country.

For non-EU markets, products ship directly from the hubs to the destination country, always in a single operating flow.

Why two hubs

The advantages of our hubs

AdvantageWhat it means for the brand
01Made in Italy productionItalian manufacturing quality
02Logistics hub in ItalyDirect distribution in the European market
03Logistics hub in SwitzerlandFor non-EU brands: no 22% Italian VAT on stock, VAT only on entry into the EU market
04Customs clearanceIn the destination country
05Working capitalBetter cash management
06Global distributionTwo hubs to serve EU and non-EU markets

Much more than an export service.

Many companies hand logistics to different operators. BOLD builds it directly into the industrial platform.

This means that production, quality control, order preparation, documentation, shipping and distribution are managed as a single process. The result is a simpler, faster supply chain with greater operational control.

Distribution and market development

Our platform also supports the brand's commercial growth with activities dedicated to market development.

When requested, we support the client with:

  • international market analysis
  • definition of distribution models
  • export support
  • identification of local partners
  • market testing
  • commercial validation
  • support entering new countries

The goal is not just to ship a product. It is to create the conditions for it to grow in the markets that suit it best.

Who we distribute for

EU and non-EU brands

EU brands

From the production line to European markets

What we handle

  • logistics hub in Italy
  • direct shipments to the European market, with no intermediate steps
  • B2B fulfillment for distributors and retail
  • e-commerce fulfillment
  • stock management based on sales forecasts
  • export to the GCC, Asia, Africa and the Americas

We integrate production, stock, documentation and shipping in a single flow: one point of contact instead of several operators, with greater operational control and better working capital management.

We can work with your logistics partners and distributors or offer you ours. Always under NDA.

Non-EU brands

Entering the European market

What we handle

  • logistics hub in Switzerland
  • open bonded warehouses (OCW)
  • no 22% Italian VAT on stock
  • customs clearance in the destination country
  • export documentation and customs procedures
  • direct shipments to non-EU markets too

Goods produced in Italy are stored in Switzerland under a customs regime: VAT is only paid when they enter the EU market, in the destination country.

For non-EU markets, products ship directly from the hubs to the destination country: same operating flow, same point of contact.

The result

Distributing a product is not just organizing a shipment. It means designing a supply chain that can support the brand's growth.

That is why BOLD brings together Made in Italy production, logistics hubs in Italy and Switzerland, supply chain management, bonded warehouses, export and international distribution in a single Global Logistics Platform.

It is the fourth pillar of our End-to-End Manufacturing Platform.
