What Arimar does

Arimar International S.p.A. is a privately held Italian international freight forwarder headquartered in Scandicci, near Florence, with operations across sea, air, and road transport. The company, established in the late 1980s and organized as a single-shareholder S.p.A. with stated share capital of Euro 123,880, coordinates shipments through dedicated departments for ocean export, air export, import, and truck services, supported by warehousing facilities in Florence, Livorno, and Milan. Arimar extends its reach beyond Italy via a network of agents and sister companies covering approximately 40 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania, enabling door-to-door service for FCL, LCL, oversized, hazardous, and project cargo alongside in-house customs brokerage and cross-trade operations.

The company's product portfolio is built around three core transport modes (seafreight, airfreight, and road freight) and a complementary value-added IT suite that includes Track & Trace, P.O. Management, E-Booking, EDI, WMS, Customized Reports, and a Booking Agent module. These systems standardize electronic data interchange with customers and partners and provide real-time shipment visibility and inventory reporting. Arimar reaches customers through a direct enterprise sales force, with quote-based transaction pricing that varies by cargo type, volume, route, and service requirements, and it targets B2B international shippers such as manufacturers, traders, and distributors needing multi-modal logistics solutions. The firm also maintains a longstanding partnership with the Florence-based non-profit Annulliamo La Distanza as part of its corporate social responsibility activities.
