What Leonardo Logistics does

Leonardo Logistics S.p.A. is an Italian integrated logistics services company that operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leonardo Global Solutions S.p.A., within the Leonardo Group's corporate structure. Founded in 2002 (formerly Fata Logistic Systems, rebranded in September 2021), the company is headquartered in Rome with administrative operations in Turin and runs 70+ sites across Italy, including a 20,000 sqm facility at Vergiate, a 12,000 sqm site at Grottaglie, and co-located warehouses inside major Leonardo production plants. Its service portfolio spans six core lines: Industrial Logistics (inbound/outbound flows, warehouse management, KIT preparation, production-line servicing), Transportation Control Tower (TMS-based freight coordination via air, land, and sea including military cargo and charters), Service Provider (end-to-end management of auxiliary production materials including consumables, bench tools, PPE, and raw metallic materials), Packaging (custom and standard solutions), Defense Support (ILS-driven spare parts management, FAK handling, 24/7 operational availability for C27J and C130-J systems), and Engineering and Technologies (turnkey logistics consulting and platform implementation). Customers are primarily internal Leonardo Group divisions — Aerostrutture, Elicotteri, and Velivoli — alongside the Italian Armed Forces and external enterprises in aerospace, defence, electronics, and railway sectors; a global freight-forwarding supplier network supports inbound and outbound flows internationally.

The technology backbone is the Advanced Logistics 4.0 program — a proprietary WMS, Extended Warehouse Management (EWM), and TMS/Transportation Control Tower platform integrated with IoT, RFID, AGV, collaborative robots, AI-driven optimisation, Digital Twin, Big Data analytics, and exploratory quantum-computing simulations, developed in collaboration with Leonardo's CTIO and Leonardo Labs. The company operates through direct enterprise field-sales relationships, predominantly as a managed-services provider under long-term contracts; it holds EN 9100/9120 aerospace quality, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 certifications and received ESG Recognition from DNV in June 2026. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no independent funding history or external M&A record, functioning as the embedded logistics arm of its parent group.
