Intereco

What Intereco does

Intereco SL is a privately held Spanish road transport and logistics company founded in 1988 (registered October 27, 1988 in the Mercantile Registry of Girona) and headquartered in Bescanó (Girona), Catalonia. The company specializes in palletized cargo transport at ambient temperature, operating three service modalities — groupage (LTL), full truckload (FTL), and express delivery of 1-6 pallets — across Spain, Portugal, and 30+ European markets. Physical operations rest on a tautliner (curtain-sided) truck fleet, four warehouse nodes (Girona, Barcelona CIM Vallés, Porto-Maia, Lisboa-Samora Correia) totaling more than 10,000 m² of storage capacity, and a wholly-owned Portuguese subsidiary, Gubireco LDA.

The commercial model combines direct enterprise field sales for larger accounts with a self-service online pricing and booking platform for express pallet shipments. Intereco operates as a founding member of the Palletways Ibérica network — 53 members across the Iberian Peninsula — which provides 24-hour coverage on Premium 12 and Premium 24 product tiers. The company runs a barcode and radio-frequency warehouse management system that exposes real-time, SKU-level inventory visibility to customers and their upstream suppliers and downstream clients. Document custody, certified destruction, and logistics outsourcing (picking, labeling, order preparation) are bundled into the warehousing offering.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on transport and managed-services pricing on warehousing, with pay-as-you-go billing and warehousing quoted from 0.15 EUR per pallet per day. The customer base is broad — over 1,000 active customers historically, spanning manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers across Spain and Europe — with no disclosed anchor customer concentration. The company carries ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 14064-1 (added 2025) certifications covering quality, environmental management, and greenhouse gas accounting. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range, consistent with a focused SME operation. Intereco carries explicit geographic and product restrictions (no ADR, no refrigerated, no frozen, no bulk, no household goods).

Broad incumbents

• XPO Logistics: XPO Logistics operates one of Europe's largest LTL networks with dense Iberian coverage. Its pallet-optimized road network competes with Intereco for Iberian and European pallet volumes at significantly larger scale.
• DHL Freight: DHL Freight is Deutsche Post DHL Group's road freight arm, offering pan-European LTL, FTL, and cross-border services. Its extensive Iberian operations and EuroConnect product compete with Intereco's international palletized transport.
• GEODIS: GEODIS is a major European road freight, contract logistics, and distribution provider with significant Iberian operations. Its road freight and contract logistics services overlap with Intereco's transport-plus-warehousing model.
• DSV: DSV is a global transport and logistics company with a strong European road freight and freight forwarding presence. Its pan-European road network and pallet/LTL services overlap with Intereco's international Spain-Europe trade flows.
• DB Schenker: DB Schenker is one of Europe's largest integrated logistics providers, with extensive European road freight, contract logistics, and Iberian operations. Its road and contract logistics services provide a broader scale alternative to Intereco's offering for enterprise shippers.
• DACHSER: DACHSER is one of Europe's largest road freight logistics providers with extensive LTL and FTL networks across the continent. Its European road network and palletized groupage service (DACHSER Eurocargo) compete with Intereco's international offering, though at substantially larger scale.

Direct peers

• SEUR: SEUR is a leading Spanish road express and parcel delivery company serving the Iberian Peninsula, with similar SME customer focus and time-definite delivery services. It competes directly with Intereco's domestic Spain express and LTL offerings.
• Palletways: Palletways is Europe's largest express palletized cargo network, of which Intereco is a founding Iberian member. Both operate the same 1-6 pallet express model with 24-hour delivery across Europe, making them direct comparables in pallet network economics.

Regional players
