Packaging
Because every work of art is unique, protecting and packaging it requires a sense of observation and know-how.
From its general condition to its delicate features, each work of art is meticulously analyzed to determine the packaging best suited to its characteristics. Bubble wrap, Melinex, Tyvek, blankets, cardboard sheets, polyane... all solutions are possible to guarantee the protection of works of art during transport.
For the most sensitive pieces, we can even create custom crates
Installation
Because we want to offer you a service that is as professional as it is comprehensive, we go beyond delivery by offering you an installation service.
Thanks to our expertise and transport experience, we are familiar with the specific features and requirements of works of art, and are therefore well
qualified to implement installation solutions adapted to the technical constraints of exhibition sites.
Electric vertical gondola, gantry crane with hoist and slings, rolling scaffolding, cladding towers... We have the right equipment for every
situation.

Our story
In 2007, after 25 years of experience, Joël Archi takes the advice of one of his trusted customers to create Archi-Transports. Reliable, professional, and meticulous, he immediately earns the trust of a demanding clientele.
In 2016, Julien Archi joins his father and takes the company in a new direction, specializing in the transportation of works of art and fragile objects. Art galleries, artists, collectors, restorers, upholsterers and architects quickly put their trust in the two men, whose work ethics - reliability, discretion, meticulousness and attention to detail - immediately make a difference.
By 2023, Archi-Transports manages a portfolio of more than 15 regular customers, transporting hundreds of exceptional objects all over Europe.
This success story has identified the company as not only a serviceprovider but a true partner in the transportation of works of art.
