What Autotrasporti Cappella Bruno does

Autotrasporti Cappella Bruno S.r.l (ACB Srl) is an Italian B2B trucking and logistics company founded in 1968 and headquartered in Osio Sotto (Bergamo), with operational facilities and warehousing in Suisio. The company operates an owned fleet of trucks and tankers and offers a comprehensive service mix: national 24-hour urgent freight, international 48-hour urgent freight across Europe, groupage consolidation, full truckload, fragile and oversized cargo, animal feed transport, and certified waste transport. Through a 2015 partnership with Autotrasporti Ortelli Srl, ACB extends into ADR-certified dangerous goods transport for chemical and flammable cargo. Operations are supported by GPS fleet tracking and the FastPlan logistics management software covering route planning, shipment tracking, order management, documentation, and invoicing, complemented by vehicle-mounted hydraulic liftgates for safe loading.

ACB's customer base is horizontal across Italian and European B2B accounts, with deeper specialization in chemical/pharmaceutical, waste management, and general manufacturing verticals requiring ADR compliance, urgent delivery, or integrated warehousing. Revenue is generated primarily through per-shipment transaction fees priced by weight, cargo characteristics, distance, and urgency, with additional managed services revenue from warehousing, packaging, picking, and storage at the Suisio facilities, and a daily vehicle rental (servizio a giornata) offering. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative: free personalized quotes via website, phone, and email, with dedicated account handling from quote through delivery for larger enterprise clients. The company is privately held by founder-CEO Patrizio Cappella, who started as a driver before building ACB; there are no external institutional investors, and ownership is part of the broader ACB Group alongside Ortelli Srl.
