Transportes José Cunha

We rely on our logistical partners to ensure that the materials we supply are delivered as per the clients’ requisites.

If our partner succeeds, we succeed. That has always been the foundation of our long-standing relationship with our main transport partner, Transportes José Cunha.

They have a small but highly response fleet of mid-size to trailer trucks that meets the increasingly complex demands of Salmon and our clients, as they have done over three generations.
