Our participation at SIL 2016 in Barcelona

This year again we were exhibiting at SIL 2016, the International Exhibition of Logistics and Material Handling, in Barcelona. Here is an overview of this event in pictures.

On the first day of inauguration, the officials came to visit us at our stand and decided to take a memorable photograph to mark the occasion.

This year we were exhibiting with COMSA Rail Transport on the same stand. We have worked with COMSA Rail Transport for several years to develop new rail connections between Spain and the rest of Europe. This was the perfect opportunity to highlight the strenght of our collaboration.
