• The partnership will build on the long-standing relationship between the two companies over the past 10 years. 
• Customers of both companies will benefit from well-established and expert-led operations in Italy and the Middle East, respectively. 

AKM Shipping and Italiansped, a SACMI Group company, will enter into a strategic partnership effective February 2025. 

The partnership will provide Italiansped with a stronger inroad into the Middle East markets through AKM’s robust presence in the region, while AKM Shipping will benefit from Italiansped’s established position in the Italian market as well as its vast European and global network as a member of the SACMI Group. 

Santos Govinda, Managing Director of AKM Shipping says, “We see the UAE and KSA as promising markets for Italian products. Through this unique partnership, we will be working with a world-class provider of shipping and logistics services that has core knowledge and expertise in the Italian market. Together, we can deliver even better value to our customers - both in Italy and the Middle East.”

Vittorio Romiti, President and CEO of Italiansped added, “AKM Shipping and Italiansped have enjoyed a long and fruitful partnership built on professionalism, industry expertise, and trust, and we are looking forward to further solidifying our relationship and presence in the area. 

In addition to its UAE base, AKM Shipping recently expanded its operations into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with a local head office in Riyadh and a branch in Jeddah. Over the past decade, the company has built a strong reputation as a trusted service provider offering innovative and tailor-made solutions for customers across a wide variety of industries.
