    DB Schenker supports ALDI in sourcing several hundred tons of pasta for 650 branches of the discount chain in southern Germany. Split up onto 500 europallets, the freight is carried directly from the supplier's production in Italy to Germany by trucks and freight trains.

    The first 300 pallets with a total of 400,000 packages of pasta arrived at the railport of DB Schenker Transa in Nuremberg.

    Said DB Schenker board member Christian Drenthen: "We ensure that supply chains in Europe are kept up and running. This is what we are doing all the time. The current coronavirus pandemic emphasizes the importance of reliable supply chains. Logistics keeps the world running, as demonstrated by our solution for ALDI to transport pasta from Italy to Germany on short notice. We ensure that empty supermarket shelves are being refilled."

    Store-brand Cucina pasta is produced in Nola, near Naples, southern Italy. In particular spaghetti, but also significant volumes of penne and fusilli, are transported via truck from the production site to Anagni by DB Schenker.

    From there, the products are transported to Nuremberg with freight trains from DB Cargo. After cross-docking, the pasta continues its journey via trucks to 10 regional distribution centres of ALDI. Each of these serve 50 to 70 discount supermarkets.
