The SALT is strategic for the transport, logistics and distribution sector, but also for other sectors of the local economy. This professional fair offers important opportunities to enterprises and entities as it promotes new possibilities for business and commercial contacts, to share knowledge and experiences and to discover new and innovating elements.
