Frigo Genova Magazzini

What Frigo Genova Magazzini does

Frigo Genova Magazzini S.r.l is an Italian privately-held refrigerated logistics company founded in 1979, operating two temperature-controlled warehouse facilities in Genova Bolzaneto and Vado Ligure with a combined capacity of 30,000 pallet positions across 140,000 cubic meters of dry, chilled, and frozen storage. The company serves food industry import/export operators, large-scale retail trade (GDO), meat/fish/perishable producers, alcoholic beverage importers, and cruise/maritime operators, with both facilities sited in direct proximity to two of the Mediterranean's most commercially significant ports (Port of Genoa and Savona-Vado), providing immediate maritime access for import/export clients.

The technology stack centers on a proprietary Zephiro Warehouse Management System for real-time inventory control, semi-automatic Pallet Shuttle systems for high-density storage, IoT sensor networks for 24/7 environmental monitoring, and the Area Clienti customer portal for inventory and invoice visibility. High-efficiency photovoltaic installations at both facilities generate 1 GWh of renewable energy, covering approximately 40% of cold storage energy requirements. The company holds a dense portfolio of regulatory authorizations including FSSC 22000, IT BIO 007, CE Mark IT1246F/ITB2C40, Type C Private Bonded Warehouse, Excise Warehouse, Approved Place, Authorized Recipient, and MTC customs authorizations that enable in-house customs clearance.

The business model combines managed cold storage services with value-added logistics (pallet in/out, weighing, wrapping, sorting, picking, labeling, shipping) and customs/regulatory service fees, delivered through a direct, sales-led B2B motion targeting enterprise and mid-market clients via phone, website, and customer portal. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The company is self-financed, reinvesting profits into infrastructure modernization, automation, technology development, and workforce training, with no external investors, parent company, or venture capital backing. Geographic scope is regional, anchored at the Ligurian port cluster with reach across Mediterranean maritime routes and overland connections to Europe.
