Global-TALKE, the TALKE Group joint venture, is expanding its network in southern Europe. With a new logistics facility in Filago, located in the Covestro Chemical Park, the company strengthens its presence in one of Italy's main chemical clusters, creating additional capacity for tailored, safe logistics solutions.
TALKE, one of the world's leading providers of logistics solutions for the chemical sector, further strengthens its European network: its joint venture Global-TALKE expands its presence in Italy with the acquisition of a new 20,000 m² warehouse in Filago (Bergamo). Strategically located within the Covestro Chemical Park and just 50 kilometres from Milan, the site improves operational capacity and consolidates TALKE's presence in one of Italy's main chemical hubs.
“With the new plant in Filago we significantly strengthen our presence in Italy and create the ideal conditions for specialised logistics solutions at the heart of one of the country's main chemical clusters,” says Víctor Gil, General Manager of Global-TALKE. “Being located within the Covestro Chemical Park allows us to expand our services efficiently and close to our clients.”

The new facility will complement Global-TALKE's existing site in Bareggio (Milan) and is expected to be fully operational in June 2025. Preparations to obtain SEVESO permits are already under way, guaranteeing that the highest standards for the handling of hazardous materials will be met.
Designed with cutting-edge technology, the warehouse offers 12 metres of clear height and storage capacity for 20,000 pallets over a total area of 30,000 m². It currently has two compartments of approximately 5,000 m² each, fitted with modern sprinkler systems. Additional land has also been set aside for the future construction of tanks and silos, allowing flexible expansion to meet clients' changing needs.
Comprehensive logistics services for the chemical industry
At the Filago plant, Global-TALKE will provide specialised logistics services tailored to the specific needs of the chemical sector. Its main activities will include:
- Storage and handling of hazardous and non-hazardous products
- Liquid and solid filling operations
- Comprehensive supply chain support for chemical products, including oxidising, corrosive, flammable and non-flammable materials.
Strengthening TALKE's strategy for sustainable growth
The expansion in Italy is one more step in TALKE's strategy to strengthen its international presence and offer first-class logistics solutions for the chemical industry across Europe. As Christoph Grunert, Managing Director of the TALKE Group, points out: “Filago is a valuable addition to our international network and supports our strategy of systematically growing TALKE's European presence. With this investment we move even closer to our customers and expand our capabilities to meet the dynamic needs of the chemical industry.” With pioneering spirit, experience and dedication, TALKE, together with its partners and joint ventures, continues to responsibly turn chemical logistics into a catalyst for future success.
