Rhenus strengthens its presence in Asturias
Rhenus has reinforced its growth strategy in Asturias by integrating a new local operational base that will enhance service consistency in the region and optimise road connections with Europe for Asturian companies.
This expansion is supported by a collaboration with Guttrans, which provides additional regional distribution capabilities to meet increasing market demand.
“With this step we strengthen the Rhenus service offering in Asturias by incorporating a solid local structure that shares our family-business culture and our commitment to quality,” says Javier Berenguer, Country Managing Director Overland at Rhenus Logistics in Spain. “Our objective is to ensure greater operational consistency in the area and facilitate seamless road connections with Europe through a fully coordinated working model.”
This strategic development responds to the needs of a market that moved 42 million tonnes of goods by road in 2024 and recorded growth above 8% in 2025 in cumulative data up to the third quarter. Strengthening local coverage enables Rhenus to offer better transit times and greater service reliability for companies across the Principality.
The integration of Guttrans’ local infrastructure provides Rhenus with a solid distribution base in Asturias supported by a fleet of 21 tractor units, delivery vehicles and a regional courier network. Based in Llanera (Asturias) with operational branches in A Coruña and Valladolid, the company contributes more than 30 years of experience in the area to Rhenus’ expanding network in Spain.
The expansion of Rhenus’ presence in Asturias is complemented by its daily international groupage departures to more than 30 European countries, offering exporters and importers direct access to one of the continent’s most extensive logistics networks. This enhanced connection improves transit times and increases the competitiveness of Asturian companies in their international operations.
“For us this agreement is an opportunity to project ourselves outward from Asturias,” notes Francisco Gutiérrez, Managing Director of Guttrans. “Rhenus provides us with an international dimension that will help increase the competitiveness of Asturian companies in their exports to Europe.”
