Since the takeover of Velltrans 3 years ago, the order volume and the number of trucks have almost doubled. Today, Galliker has 93 employees, 58 trucks and 15 vans on site. The core business of Galliker Portugal mainly comprises spare parts logistics for numerous car and truck brands in Portugal. The spare parts brought in from Benelux, Scandinavia and Germany are consolidated in Madrid and distributed to end customers in Portugal via the Perafita, Mangualde, Alverca and Esmoriz platforms. Galliker is thus the leader in just-in-time delivery of automotive parts in Portugal. Galliker also offers the option of transporting cargo from Portugal to Switzerland, Benelux and the Scandinavian countries.
