Your end-to-end solution
Since 1947, Embelco has built its reputation on a single speciality: Fine art logistics. Every work we handle – whether it's a contemporary painting, a Rodin sculpture, a designer piece of furniture, or an entire museum collection – benefits from the same level of expertise and care.
Our fine art logistics service covers the entire chain, from collection at the studio or gallery to final installation at the recipient's premises: bespoke packaging, temperature-controlled transport, secure storage, customs formalities, bonded warehouse and incident on site. We operate weekly shuttle services throughout Europe and coordinate air and sea shipments worldwide.

Fine art logistics: our profession
The transport and conservation of works of art do not tolerate approximation. A poorly designed crate, a badly air-conditioned journey, an underestimated customs formality – and it's a work of art, sometimes irreplaceable, that pays the price.
Fine art logistics was born to meet this demand. More than just transport, it is a discipline that combines preventive conservation, expertise in museum-standard packaging, mastery of customs regulations, and installation know-how. At Embelco, this has been our sole business since 1947.
