Moviiu expands in Canada: a new logistics dimension with the Denbigh franchise

The North American art market demands flawless logistics, able to navigate vast geographical distances and strict customs regulations. To meet this challenge, Moviiu is taking a new step in its international expansion by announcing its strengthened partnership with Denbigh, Canada’s leading fine art logistics company.
This alliance is not merely an operational collaboration; it brings together Moviiu’s agile technology with Denbigh’s long-standing presence and technical expertise across the whole of Canada.
Present in Canada for several years, Moviiu is now reaching a decisive milestone in its development. To meet the growing expectations of our clients and the complexity of the North American market, we have made the strategic decision to entrust our operations and client relations entirely to an exceptional partner: Denbigh.
From now on, Moviiu operates in fine art shipping in Canada through an exclusive franchise model with Denbigh. This change is by no means the end of our current model, which continues to prove itself and is successfully applied in many other countries around the world, but it marks a full integration on Canadian soil, combining our agile technology with the know-how and professionalism of Denbigh’s teams.
Operational excellence and the 360° offering as the new standard
While Moviiu already offered solutions departing from Canada, the move to a franchise with Denbigh radically transforms the user experience by placing the true hallmarks of the Moviiu brand at its core: a single point of contact and a simplified digital interface for all your needs.
This partnership ensures that every request is directed to the most relevant offering within Moviiu’s portfolio. In doing so, we put forward the core principle of our 360° offering: one contact, several tailored solutions. This model guarantees that every artwork benefits from the country’s most sophisticated infrastructure: fleets of high-security climate-controlled trucks, museum-standard warehouses and field teams trained in Moviiu’s digital protocols.
This shift to a franchise model ensures full transparency across the value chain. By unifying our processes, we remove the friction between the digital order and its physical execution.
The result? Greater reliability and complete control over transport conditions, even when faced with Canada’s geographical and climatic challenges.
