DIF’s Catania Hub, developed in partnership with Geotrans, strengthens the network’s presence in Sicily and improves food and beverage distribution links between the island and the rest of Italy. It is the first DIF hub hosted by a network partner, marking a new step in DIF’s collaborative logistics model by combining existing infrastructure and local expertise with network-wide coordination.
Located at the Contrada Giancata logistics complex, the facility offers 14,000 m² of covered space across ambient, chilled (0 to +4 °C) and frozen storage zones to meet different food storage requirements.
The hub connects Sicilian producers and local transport companies with DIF’s nationwide distribution system, helping keep shipments moving and preserve product integrity throughout the supply chain.
DIF’s Catania Hub is located at Geotrans’s premises in Contrada Giancata, within Catania’s logistics and industrial district. The site has access to eastern Sicily’s main road links, including the A19 Catania–Palermo motorway, the A18 Messina–Catania motorway and the Catania ring road, which connects to routes towards Syracuse and the rest of the island.
Through its partnership with Geotrans and its integration into DIF Network, the hub connects regional food shipments with nationwide distribution, supporting the movement of goods to and from Sicily.
The Catania Hub is the first DIF hub hosted by a network partner. It brings together Sicily’s distribution expertise and DIF’s nationwide operations, helping coordinate food and beverage shipments between the island, the other hubs and DIF’s network partners.
