What Valeo does

Valeo Studio S.r.l., operating as Valeo.it, is an Italian B2B digital agency founded in 1998 in Bergamo, employing approximately 30 in-house specialists across web development, mobile app development, software analysis, UX/UI design, and digital marketing. The company serves a dual customer base of Italian small and medium enterprises (PMI) and large enterprises/multinationals, with anchor clients including Gardaland, ABB, CASIO Educational, Acerbis, Bianchi Bicycles, PIUSI, and ItalianOptic. Its portfolio spans four pillars: custom web and app platforms, corporate websites, Industry 4.0 solutions (including custom MES integrated with ERP), and digital marketing services (SEO, SEM, social, email, PPC). Technical differentiators include custom code development (not templates), full ownership transfer to clients, AR-enabled virtual try-on, immersive virtual showroom/metaverse environments, and a proprietary conversational commerce platform (YOUBUYME) in which Valeo holds a shareholder stake.

The business operates on a project-based, quote-based pricing model with two tiers: high-customization bespoke builds (multi-year contracts) and standardized WordPress-based solutions (annual). Revenue is generated through professional services fees, retainer-style digital marketing engagements, and platform/equity participation in ventures like YOUBUYME. Distribution is direct (no resellers), primarily concentrated in Lombardy (Bergamo and Milan) with national reach and limited international exposure. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 56001 certifications (the latter among the first in Italy), is a Google Partner and Microsoft Partner, is a PMI Innovativa, and is a member of Confindustria Bergamo and the Kilometro Rosso innovation district.

In 2022 Valeo joined the Abacus Group, marking the most significant ownership change in its history. The founder, Davide Corna, remains President of the Board of Directors. The company does not disclose revenue and has no disclosed funding rounds. Integration with Abacus Group, equity-style plays such as YOUBUYME, and new product lines in AR/VR/metaverse and Industry 4.0 MES indicate a deliberate transition from a pure web agency toward a hybrid services-and-platforms model serving Italian industrial and enterprise digital transformation needs.
