Pegaso

What Pegaso does

Pegaso S.r.l. is a privately held Italian customs service center (Centro Servizi Doganali) headquartered in Prato, with a regional office in Vignate (Milan). Founded in 1994 by Luca Bertini and Antonio D'Angelo—customs brokers who trained within Albini & Pitigliani S.p.A.—the company delivers specialized import/export customs operations, Intrastat compliance services, and customs consulting to businesses engaged in international trade. Its primary customers are import/export companies operating across Tuscany and Lombardy, with service coverage at six Italian customs offices (Prato, Pistoia, Florence, Milan, Siena, Arezzo) and global trade reach for client shipments. The company holds AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certification since 2009, recognized internationally by trading partners including China, the USA, and Japan.

Pegaso monetizes primarily through transaction-based fees for customs operations and professional services fees for Intrastat submissions and customs consulting. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; the company employs a consultative sales motion offering free on-site evaluations. Its core technology is a proprietary web-based customs management platform anchored by PEGASOWEB.NET, a secure client portal providing 24/7 access to historical operations, document downloads, and backup, complemented by a proprietary Intrastat data transmission application for automated statistical reporting to the Italian Customs Agency.

The company operates with 32 specialized employees, including three certified customs brokers registered with the official Albo. No external venture capital or private equity funding is reported. The ownership structure centers on the two founding partners, with Albini & Pitigliani—also a strategic co-founder and key client—maintaining a long-standing relationship. The operating model is direct-to-business with physical presence at customs offices and a digital self-service layer for existing clients via the portal.
