Convelio competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Cadogan Tate: Long-established British fine art logistics specialist offering international shipping, storage, and installation for galleries, collectors, and auction houses across Europe and the US. Closest like-for-like competitor to Convelio's core offering and the most credible incumbent Convelio is competing to displace.
- Crown Fine Art (part of MOMART Group): Specialist fine art logistics and storage division within the MOMART Group, serving global auction houses, museums, and private collectors. Directly competes with Convelio on international art forwarding and climate-controlled storage, particularly in transatlantic lanes.
- Gander & White: London-headquartered fine art shipping and storage specialist serving galleries, collectors, museums, and auction houses since the 19th century. Operates directly in the same UK and European specialist lanes as Convelio, with comparable service mix (shipping, packing, storage).
- Hasenkamp: German-headquartered international art and high-value logistics specialist with storage facilities across Europe. Serves the same gallery, collector, and auction-house customer base as Convelio, with comparable capabilities in white-glove art handling and customs brokerage.
- Masterpiece International: US-headquartered fine art logistics company specializing in shipping, customs clearance, and storage of high-value artwork for galleries, collectors, and auction houses. Direct US-side competitor as Convelio expands its New York specialist storage footprint.
- MOMART: UK-based fine art logistics and storage specialist serving museums, galleries, auction houses, and private collectors. Operates directly overlapping services with Convelio including international art transport and climate-controlled storage.
Emerging players
- Uovo: New York-based specialist fine art storage and logistics provider with a focus on modern, tech-enabled storage facilities serving collectors, galleries, and auction houses. Comparable to Convelio's storage-led growth strategy, especially as Convelio opens its New York facility in autumn 2026.
- Arterial (art logistics tech): Tech-enabled fine art logistics platform offering digital booking and shipment management for galleries and collectors. Comparable to Convelio's software-first GTM approach in the art freight category, though with less emphasis on owned specialist storage facilities.
Broad incumbents
- DHL Global Forwarding (Fine Art): DHL's dedicated Fine Art and Antiques logistics arm within its global forwarding network, serving museums, galleries, and auction houses at global scale. Not a direct tech-first competitor but represents the scale threat and the alternative enterprise option for Convelio's auction-house customers.
- Brink's Global Services: Global secure logistics provider with a dedicated fine art and high-value goods service offering storage, transport, and security for museums, galleries, and collectors. Larger and broader than Convelio but competes for the same enterprise art-logistics RFPs at major institutions.
