What Spedition Christensen A/S does

Spedition Christensen A/S is a Danish private limited company operating within the international ALPI Group, an Italian-origin freight forwarding and logistics network (Albini & Pitigliani) with Danish operations dating to 1992. Through related operating entities ALPI Danmark A/S and its wholly-owned subsidiary ALPI Air & Sea A/S, the business delivers full-service transport and logistics across road, sea, air, rail/intermodal, courier, warehousing, exhibition logistics, customs brokerage, cargo insurance, and supply-chain advisory. Operations run from seven Danish offices (Herning HQ, Kolding, Karlslunde, Padborg, Odense, Aarhus) with dedicated lane managers for Benelux, Germany, France, Italy, the Nordics, the UK/Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Austria, Greece, Poland/Czech Republic, Turkey, and Eastern Europe, plus intermodal/rail and Baltics desks, supported by Track & Trace, web booking, and sailing-schedule digital tools. Ownership remains with the founding Albini and Pitigliani families (now third generation, represented on both Danish boards), with Kjeld Tygesen as MD of ALPI Danmark A/S and Morten Høgsberg Nielsen as MD of ALPI Air & Sea A/S. Recent strategic positioning centres on sustainability (ALPI Go Green with GLEC 3 / ISO 14083 emissions reporting and HVO/SMF/SAF fuel swaps), U.S. customs via ACE, and CBAM-2026 readiness.
