What Leghorn Group does

LeghornGroup srl is a Livorno, Italy-based manufacturer of security seals and tamper-evident products, founded in 1978 and operating three manufacturing plants with eight commercial branches worldwide. Its portfolio spans plastic seals (pull-tight, fixed-length, padlock, meter, drum, pallet), metal seals (ISO 17712-compliant bolt and cable seals), RFID seals across LF/HF/NFC/UHF frequencies including the patented Three-State RFID E-Seal, electronic E-Locks, GPS asset trackers, tamper-evident labels, reusable security bags, and specialised RFID tags for laundry, tire, and big-bag applications. The company holds ISO 17712:2013 and ISO 9001 certifications, with third-party SGS validation on key RFID seal SKUs, and operates a B2B direct sales model selling to enterprise and government customers in transport and logistics, utilities, banking and cash-in-transit, customs, healthcare, airline, food, chemical, armed services, and elections.

The business generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of physical seals (plastic, metal, RFID, electronic), supplemented by consulting services for tailored solutions and customization options such as laser marking, sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, and bespoke antenna designs. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via company website, phone, and email quote requests, supported by 13 multilingual country-specific websites (covering Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, India, Czech, Romania, Russia, Poland, and the US), a Houston sales office, and presence at international trade shows including ALL4PACK, RFID Journal Live!, and PBIP. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all transactions are quote-based with 1–2 working day express courier shipping globally.

Technologically, LeghornGroup is investing in next-generation IoT-enabled security through the LOGICA (LOGistic Innovative ChAin) project with PNTLab of CNIT, co-funded by ERDF Tuscany Region 2021–2027, which integrates NB-IoT, satellite communication, geolocation, and electronic seals with distributed ledger (DLT) and Digital Product Passport (DPP) interoperability, currently in TRL 7 validation on real transoceanic routes. The company is also extending into adjacent verticals such as RFID tire management, RFID linen tracking, and tamper-evident election materials, positioning its seal platform as the foundation for end-to-end supply chain visibility and regulatory compliance.
