What Erixmar does

Erixmar srl is an Italian logistics engineering company founded in 1955 (originally as Agenzia Marittima Prosper, rebranded in 1986) and headquartered in Milan (Vignate), with President Stelio Taraschi leading a privately held, family-owned business. The company provides multimodal freight forwarding (air, sea, road, rail) and 3PL/4PL supply chain services to enterprise clients across four specialized verticals: Fashion & Luxury, Food & Perishables, Industrial & Manufacturing, and Oil & Gas Energy. Operations span 6 direct offices in Italy, USA (Secaucus NJ), China (Shanghai), Hong Kong, UAE (Dubai, via Gava Erixmar Forwarding LLC joint venture), and Ethiopia (Addis Ababa), complemented by 200+ partner hubs across 50+ countries and 25,000 m² of warehouse space.

Erixmar's core technology stack is developed in-house and consists of three proprietary platforms: WMS Tailor Made (a customized Warehouse Management System with cloud-native architecture and ERP/TMS integration), Track & Trace Platform (web-based shipment monitoring with personalized dashboards and BI integration), and EDI-API-HUB Integration (document automation supporting electronic invoices, customs documentation, and shipping confirmations). Domain-specific systems layer on top, including the FRESCO cold chain management system (temperature-controlled transport with continuous monitoring for food and perishables) and the GOH (Garments on Hangers) system certified to TAPA Level 4-5 for luxury fashion logistics. Certifications include ISO 14001 (environmental management, 2025), IATA (air freight), AEO (customs), and HSE compliance for Oil & Gas.

The business model combines transaction-fee revenue from international transport, managed-services fees from 3PL/4PL logistics and industrial project work, and professional-services fees from value-added offerings including GOH, FRESCO, and AQL quality control inspections. Erixmar sells to enterprise customers through direct field sales and consultative selling, with dedicated vertical teams and KPI-based project management. The company engages in brand building via digital channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), sports sponsorship (jersey sponsor of Itas Trentino Volleyball), and educational partnerships (CNOS-FAP). Pricing is fully custom and quote-based; no public tiers are disclosed. No external funding has been raised and the share capital stands at €500,000 (nominal).

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• DACHSER: Family-owned German logistics company providing direct comparable business model (3PL/freight forwarding with proprietary WMS, vertical specialization in fashion and industrial). Similar mid-sized enterprise profile with global reach.
• Hellmann Worldwide Logistics: German family-owned global forwarder (founded 1871) of comparable scale to Erixmar with similar mid-sized global footprint and vertical specialization in automotive, fashion, and perishables. Direct structural analog as privately-held multi-generational forwarder.
• Gava Group: Dubai-based freight forwarder that is Erixmar's actual JV partner for Middle East operations (Gava Erixmar Forwarding LLC). Most directly comparable as a regional forwarder with whom Erixmar co-operates in the Gulf.
• BDP International: Privately held global freight forwarder with comparable size and vertical specialization (chemicals, oil & gas, fashion). Direct competitor for complex project cargo and contract logistics, similar mid-sized footprint with global network.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: Danish global transport and logistics company with extensive freight forwarding and contract logistics operations. Acquired Schenker in 2024, demonstrating the consolidation pattern relevant to mid-sized forwarders like Erixmar.
• Geodis: French global logistics provider (owned by SNCF) with comparable service portfolio across freight forwarding, contract logistics, and distribution. Broader geographic and operational scale but overlapping customer verticals including fashion and industrial.
• Kerry Logistics Network: Asia-headquartered global logistics provider with strong presence in Hong Kong and Greater China, directly comparable to Erixmar's Asia hub strategy. Operates freight forwarding, contract logistics, and integrated supply chain solutions across Erixmar's same verticals.
• CEVA Logistics: Global 3PL now owned by CMA CGM, providing contract logistics, freight forwarding, and supply chain solutions across multiple verticals. Significantly larger but operates in the same freight forwarding and contract logistics space Erixmar addresses.
• Kuehne+Nagel: Swiss-headquartered global logistics leader and one of the world's largest freight forwarders. Operates in the same verticals (fashion, perishables, oil & gas) with substantially greater scale, providing the dominant competitive context for Erixmar's specialist positioning.

Regional players

• Sinotrans: China's largest logistics company with dominant domestic freight forwarding and contract logistics position. Relevant peer given Erixmar's Shanghai regional hub and China-Europe rail corridor ambitions, though primarily serves Chinese domestic market.
