What Scortrans does

Scortrans is a privately held, family-owned Italian international freight forwarder founded in 1989 by Dario Scortegagna and his son Manuel Scortegagna (currently Managing Director), headquartered in Altavilla Vicentina (Vicenza). The company provides multi-modal freight forwarding services across road, sea, and air channels, supplemented by dedicated express services, exhibition and trade fair logistics, outsourced warehouse management, customs consulting (supported by AEO certification obtained December 2011), and goods-transit insurance advisory. It serves European and international businesses — primarily manufacturers, traders, and mid-market shippers requiring cross-border transport — with a horizontal segmentation approach rather than vertical specialization.

The company operates through a group structure that includes wholly owned subsidiaries Logisco (warehouse management, founded 1998), ScortExpress / Scortexpress OY (Finnish entity for Nordic traffic, founded 2003), and Eurologisco S.r.l. (Tuscany operations). Physical infrastructure comprises the Altavilla Vicentina headquarters, a Milan branch (Nerviano, opened 2009), a Florence-area warehouse facility, and a Tampere office, with total warehouse footprint expanded to 9,000 square meters by 2013 and further extended in 2016. Sustainability investments include a photovoltaic system at headquarters and a full LED lighting retrofit covering 6,886 square meters. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (third Italian logistics company to achieve the 2015 standard, certified October 2017) and operates with approximately 80 professionals.

Revenue is generated through transaction fees on freight forwarding (groupage, full loads, consolidated shipments), managed services for outsourced warehouse operations, and professional services for customs and insurance advisory. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly listed tiers; customers self-serve quotations via the company website or engage through direct enterprise sales. Distribution relies on direct sales plus partnerships, notably an exclusive Spain arrangement with IBERCONDOR BARCELONA SA (three weekly departures, since 2013) and WCA (World Cargo Alliance) membership for global lane coverage. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company has not raised external funding.
