Lusitalia Logistics

What Lusitalia Logistics does

Lusitalia Logistics Srl is a privately held Italian freight forwarding company headquartered in Cormano, Milan, that operates as a single integrated logistics provider for B2B import/export customers. The company was founded specializing in road trucking between Italy and Portugal — the name itself a portmanteau of Italy and Lusitania — and subsequently expanded into a multi-modal offering covering road, sea, and air freight across five continents through a global correspondent agency network in 30+ countries.

The company's product portfolio spans three transportation modes (road transport, air freight as an IATA/ENAC regulated agent, and sea freight), supported by groupage consolidation, customs clearance, warehousing, cargo insurance, and a Ministry of Finance-authorized Domiciled Customs Procedure at the Cormano facility. There is no proprietary technology platform, app, or API; the operation is centered on a single warehouse-terminal located 500 meters from a highway junction and strategically positioned between three major Milan airports.

The business model is a transaction-fee freight forwarding model with custom quote-based pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis. Customers submit inquiries by phone, fax, or email with shipment details and receive bespoke pricing. The company employs 11-50 people, serves import/export businesses in manufacturing, trading, and distribution, and is independently owned with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent company affiliations. It maintains no app, no digital booking system, and no public pricing — characteristics of a traditional correspondent-based forwarder rather than a digital freight platform.
