Corsi

What Corsi does

Corsi S.p.A. is a family-owned Italian third-party logistics provider specializing in temperature-controlled transport, refrigerated warehousing, and transshipment services for the European agri-food supply chain. Founded in 1960 in Verona by Francesco Corsi as a single-truck national haulage operation, the company has expanded over six decades into a multi-generational enterprise (now Corsi S.p.A.) operating from a 10,000 sqm refrigerated terminal at the Verona interporto — strategically positioned at the intersection of European Corridor V (Lisbon-Kiev) and Corridor I (Berlin-Palermo). The service portfolio centers on three core offerings: Trasporto (full-load and groupage transport to Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, England, Switzerland, and France, plus domestic pickup), Deposito (multi-cell refrigerated warehousing with positive and negative temperature zones), and Trasbordi (transshipment and groupage consolidation at the Verona hub). Supporting sub-services include a Type C customs warehouse (VR/9), transit point operations, hanging-goods meat transport (TUBO VIE), multi-temperature compartment vehicles, double-floor pallet configurations, and intermodal rail transport launched in 2020. The owned fleet comprises 110+ Euro 6 road tractors and 120+ refrigerated boxes, with LNG-powered vehicles introduced in 2021 for emissions reduction; ATP-class certification across the fleet supports documented cold-chain integrity.

The business model is B2B transaction-fee logistics, with pricing structured around written quote requests specifying origin, destination, volume, and dates rather than published tariffs. Revenue streams include third-party temperature-controlled transport, refrigerated storage and warehousing, transshipment and transit point services, and customs warehouse services. Go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise field sales via commercial offices in Verona (HQ) and Taranto (serving southern Italy), supplemented by a multi-language corporate website (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish), Facebook presence, industry trade show participation, and a customer reviews section. The customer base is split between agri-food supply chain operators (food producers, distributors, and retailers in fresh and frozen categories) and small/medium logistics operators using Corsi's hub for European market access via groupage. Quality credentials include ISO 9001:2015, IFS Logistics v.2.1, BIO organic warehouse certification, and BRCGS Storage & Distribution (re-audited September 2022). The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed parent, no subsidiaries, and no recorded M&A activity; it carries a Community License valid through 2029 and operates with a registered share capital of €122,650.
