What Italtrans does

Italtrans S.p.A. is a privately held Italian integrated logistics and transport group founded in 1985 by Claudio and Germano Bellina along with Laura Bertulessi, headquartered in Calcinate (Bergamo) and controlled by BB Holding S.r.l. The group operates three service pillars: primary long-haul transport (1,026 tractors and 1,714 semi-trailers covering ~90 million km/year), last-mile distribution to the Ho.Re.Ca. sector (700 vehicles via Mazzocco subsidiary across 19 transit points and 9 direct network locations), and home grocery delivery (320 Euro 6 vehicles making 2.1 million deliveries/year via Deliverit). Warehousing spans 831,100+ sqm across Italy with automated systems including high-bay pallet racks (33,260 pallet stalls, 13 shuttles), Mini-Load, robotic picking (9 robots, 20 laser-guided vehicles), and fruit/vegetable sorting (12 robots).

Revenue is generated through transaction-fee-based contracts (storage, handling, and freight charges) under custom enterprise B2B arrangements with large-scale retail chains, industrial manufacturers, Ho.Re.Ca. businesses, and e-commerce operators — named clients include Esselunga and Action. The technology stack combines AI-powered Cojali fleet monitoring (remote diagnostics, driver scoring, route optimization with 5–10% fuel reduction), an AI-driven National Security Center (24/7 4K surveillance, anomaly detection, UNI EN 50518 and NIS 2 compliant), automated warehouse systems, and sustainability infrastructure (25.6 MWp photovoltaic park, HVO fuel, cryogenic cooling, nitrogen tire inflation). Italtrans differentiates through vertical integration via its 12-company BB Holding ecosystem (vehicle procurement, real estate, energy, security services) and a 40-year operating track record with ISO/IFS/BIO certifications, reporting €490M in FY2024 group revenue.
