LATA

What LATA does

LATA - Laboratorio di Analisi e Tecnologie Ambientali Srl is an Italian environmental analysis and consulting laboratory headquartered in Milan, founded in 1980 and operating as an Srl under Italian law. The firm delivers accredited laboratory testing across environmental matrices (soil, industrial waste, water, atmospheric emissions, asbestos-containing materials, packaging, indoor air quality, and chemical exposure) using conventional analytical instrumentation including GC-FID, TD-GCMS, P&T-GCMS, HPLC, and spectrophotometers, alongside specialized remediation technologies such as soil washing and multi-phase extraction. Core accreditations include ACCREDIA accreditation under UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 (since 2002, accreditation number 00404 testing), Category 9 registration with the Albo Nazionale Gestori Ambientali, and Ministry of Health recognition (code 588LOM34) for asbestos analysis.\n\nThe company generates revenue through professional services organized into three core lines (Laboratory Analysis, Environmental Consulting, Occupational Safety Consulting) plus two add-on modules (ESG Consulting and LEED/BREEAM/WELL certification support). Services are quote-based, scope-tied engagements rather than productized SaaS, and are delivered directly from the Milan headquarters by a team of over 20 specialized professionals with primary geographic coverage in Lombardy and reach extending to Piedmont and Veneto. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales to industrial companies and public administrations requiring environmental and workplace-safety compliance, supported by content marketing through the lata.it website and a bottom-of-funnel phone/email contact funnel.\n\nRecent strategic activity (August–December 2024) included a website relaunch, the expansion of integrated environmental characterization and remediation services, and the launch of an ESG consulting offering targeting CSRD reporting obligations — layering new revenue onto an established compliance-services base. Management comprises Dr. Roberto Monguzzi as Director and Dr. Francesco Passoni as Laboratory Manager, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, M&A, or external funding activity.
