The canton's freight profile centres on Lonza's biotechnology campus in Visp — one of Europe's largest biologics manufacturing sites — the Valais wine industry (Switzerland's largest wine-producing canton), and the Novelis aluminium rolling mill in Sierre. Tourism-supply freight for the Zermatt and Verbier resort corridors adds seasonal demand.
Switzerland is not an EU member — customs clearance is required. SAVA coordinates T1 transit documentation and Swiss customs formalities through licensed broker partners.
Sion, Martigny, Visp and Brig cover the canton — Visp dominates biotech freight, Sion serves the wine industry and administrative hub.

Inbound freight tracks the AP-7 and A-9 out of Catalonia, crosses at La Jonquera, then runs the French A40 toward Geneva, where Swiss customs clearance is arranged before the A9 climbs the Rhône valley into the canton — roughly 1,100 km to Sion. From there we deconsolidate thrice-weekly LTL groupage for Sion's wine trade, Visp's Lonza biotech flows and Sierre's aluminium works, with last-mile delivery across the 19 and 39 postcode areas to Martigny and Brig.
