ORMESANI

What ORMESANI does

ORMESANI (legal entity: Ormesani Srl) is a privately held Italian logistics and customs brokerage company headquartered in Quarto d'Altino, near Venice, founded in 1982 by Luciano Ormesani and now led by the founder's sons Martino and Andrea Ormesani. The company operates an integrated multi-modal logistics platform covering air, sea, land, and rail freight forwarding, supported by a 3,000 sqm logistics warehouse with cold storage, pharmaceutical cells, X-ray screening, and customs-bonded facilities. ORMESANI holds the AEO Full certification with the highest AA rating, IATA agent status (enabling direct airway bill issuance with 200+ air carrier partnerships), ENAC Regulated Agent certification, FIATA membership, GDP certification for pharmaceutical logistics, and Customs Assistance Centre (CAD) accreditation.

The company's core go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management, targeting businesses operating in international markets across five primary verticals: pharmaceutical (GDP-compliant cold chain), fresh and food (-10°C to +20°C cold chain), dangerous goods (ADR, IMDG, DGR compliant), fashion and apparel (GOH container shipping), and general cargo. Specialized capabilities include multimodal dangerous goods handling, combined sea-and-air transport (offering 30-50% cost savings over pure airfreight), and customs consultancy covering tariff classification, rules of origin, and AEO certification advisory.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on freight services, professional services fees for customs brokerage (regulated under Italian compensation notes), and managed services for warehousing and value-added logistics. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to shipment specifications. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales across six Italian branches (Quarto d'Altino, Rome Fiumicino, Rome Civitavecchia, Milan, Venice) and one US subsidiary in Hoboken, NJ (opened 2024), complemented by WCA membership and global carrier partnerships. Adjacent revenue streams come from sub-brands including Ormesani Academy (training), Nomenclature Encoder Online (digital customs tool), Prometeo co-working space, Ormesani Viaggi e Vacanze (business travel), and Relais Ormesani (conference venue).
