About us

METRANS since 1977

The origins of the Bolzano-based forwarding company Metrans GmbH date back to 1880. 11 years after the construction of the Brenner railway, the company "Hoffingott & Co." began operating as a "forwarding & commission" and K.K.-authorised customs agency.

METRANS is one of the few companies of the classic Bolzano general cargo and customs clearance forwarding companies that are still in South Tyrolean hands today.

METRANS has always been characterised by innovation and tradition. The company has constantly adapted quickly and efficiently to new market situations while remaining true to its traditional corporate values.

We are proud that our METRANS authorisation service for obtaining permits and providing escorts for heavy transports and special transports in Italy, which has been in existence since 1984, is well known and appreciated among European transport companies specialising in heavy transports.

Innovation & optimisation of work processes

Thanks to our work with state-of-the-art digital communication tools, our customers always receive targeted information about their goods. Shorter response times and maximum flexibility in the fulfilment of orders are among the clear advantages. METRANS has been offering online services for years.

Various online projects in the area of GIS (Geographic Information System) were realised, such as the GEO METRANSPLUS PORTAL for visual mobility information and technology in the area of special transport in Italy, which was recently activated in 2024.

We train apprentices :

In our company, we give young people the opportunity to learn a trade through an apprenticeship. We are authorised to do so by the regional directorate for vocational training of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/South Tyrol Italy.

We are a company that invests in its employees.
