What Levorato Marcevaggi does

Levorato Marcevaggi S.r.l. is an Italian privately-held transportation and aviation services company founded in 1938, headquartered in Campalto (Venice). The company operates two business divisions. The Aviation division provides jet fuel storage and into-plane refueling services, certified under JIG (Joint Inspection Group) standards, at 13 airports across six countries including Italy's largest hubs (Milan Malpensa, Milan Linate, Rome Fiumicino, Bergamo, Venice, Naples, Treviso, Turin-Caselle, Salerno) plus international airports in Prague, Brussels, and London Stansted (through subsidiary SICO). The Transport division provides European road haulage of dangerous goods including LPG, LNG, ammonia, CO2, nitrogen, argon, and oxygen, utilizing a fleet of 369 specialized vehicles with RINA-certified containers, ADR/RID/IMDG/ICAO-TI/IATA DGR-certified drivers, and intermodal capabilities; LPG home delivery is also offered.

The company is structured around long-standing operational certifications (HSSEQ policy since 1996, multiple JIG Global Recognition Awards), enabling it to bid for and retain exclusive into-plane concessions at major airports and to serve as a primary European transport partner for international oil majors and liquefied gas producers. Its go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales to airlines, airport operators, oil and gas companies, and industrial gas customers, with no reseller or distributor channel. Revenue is generated via transaction fees on fuel-handling volumes and transport services under multi-year contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Geographic operations span Italy, the UK, Belgium, Czech Republic, and Croatia with road transport reach extending to 12 European countries.

In recent years the company has executed strategic moves consistent with growth into adjacent segments: the 2022 acquisition of SICO granted entry into the UK into-plane market, the 2024 SAF refueling collaboration with Eni and ITA Airways (Italy's first) positioned it in sustainable aviation fuel, the 2024 launch of a General Aviation Department targeted private/charter customers, and ongoing award recognition (JIG 2024) reinforces its premium-positioning within JIG-compliant fueling. The company has three subsidiaries/JVs: wholly-owned Stansted Intoplane Company Limited (UK, 2022), wholly-owned TRANSPLIN d.o.o. (Croatia, 2000s), and joint venture Aircraft Refuelling Company GmbH. It is privately held by the founding Levorato and Remondini families; no venture or institutional equity is disclosed.
