We would like to thank our talented team for all their dedication and support in delighting our customers and playing an important role in our success to date. We look forward to continuing our growth with PIB's investment and support, which will bring many exciting benefits to both our staff and our customers.\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color:#000000;\">Full marine offer<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#000000;\">With shared headquarters in Bilbao and Valencia, and additional offices in Barcelona, Madrid and Badajoz, the Tractio team prides itself on offering a highly personalised service to its clients, mainly SMEs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#000000;\">As specialists in the maritime, land and air transport sector, their policies include insurance for the transport of goods, civil liability, machinery breakdown and other material damage.
