SUSA

What SUSA does

SUSA S.p.A. is an Italian private transportation and integrated logistics company headquartered in Corciano (Perugia). Founded in 1949, the firm operates B2B road transport and contract logistics services across Italy, with extension into CEE Europe for import/export flows. Its service portfolio spans road transport (including Full Truck Load), integrated warehousing and logistics, specialized automotive-sector logistics with embedded operations at customer warehouses, hazardous-materials handling, and a digital customer portal (MySUSA / SusaCliWEB) supporting remote billing, label printing, real-time shipment tracking, pickup scheduling, proof-of-delivery downloads, inventory and pallet accounting, and e-invoice retrieval.

The operating platform rests on a conventional logistics technology stack: a continuously updated transport management system, over 1,000 radio-frequency barcode readers and over 1,000 handheld terminals feeding real-time tracking, and certified Palletscan 300 weight/volume verification. Distribution is executed via more than 1,000 vehicles (90% equipped with hydraulic tail lifts), 51 distribution platforms, and 6 owned logistics centers, supplemented by co-located partner-operated operative centers. In 2022, the network handled 920,000 tons of goods, 4.5 million deliveries, and 11 million-plus items, traveling approximately 165,000 km nightly, with over 80% of deliveries completed within 24 hours.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based road transport fees (with ISTAT-linked annual tariff adjustments and monthly fuel surcharges) and managed-services contracts for warehousing and integrated logistics. The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by an online quote-request channel and the MySUSA self-service portal. The customer base spans B2B enterprises across general distribution, the automotive vertical (a historically core competency), and European trade operators; customer concentration detail and named logos are not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, and recognized through the Deloitte Best Managed Companies program (2024, 2025) and multiple Industria Felix and Best Value awards.

Broad incumbents

• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider with strong road, air, and sea capabilities in Italy. Overlaps with SUSA on Italian road freight and European distribution, with much larger scale.
• DHL Express Italy: Italian operations of the global DHL integrator, covering international express, domestic parcel, warehousing, and supply-chain solutions. Overlaps with SUSA on B2B distribution but at vastly broader scope.
• Poste Italiane: State-influenced Italian postal and logistics conglomerate that owns SDA Express Courier. Comparable as a broad incumbent with parcel, logistics, and financial services rather than as a direct specialized competitor.
• UPS Italy: Italian presence of UPS, offering parcel, freight, and supply-chain services. Comparable as a global integrator competing for the same enterprise B2B and international freight accounts.

Direct peers

• GLS Italy: Italian arm of the European GLS parcel network, offering B2B and B2C parcel services across Italy. Competes directly with SUSA in express parcel and B2B distribution.
• Fercam: Italian transport and logistics group with road, intermodal, and warehousing services across Europe. Comparable to SUSA in domestic transport breadth and multi-segment logistics offerings.
• Number1 Logistics Group: Italian logistics group providing integrated transport, warehousing, and distribution services to enterprise customers. Highly comparable on integrated B2B logistics in Italy with similar customer profile.
• SDA Express Courier: B2B courier and parcel operator within Poste Italiane Group, focused on domestic and international B2B shipments. Directly comparable to SUSA on integrated road transport and B2B distribution in Italy.
• BRT (Bartolini): Italy's largest B2B parcel and freight courier, operating a national network very similar to SUSA's. BRT is the closest direct competitor in domestic B2B distribution with express-courier-style service levels.
• Alha Group: Italian multi-service logistics provider covering transport, warehousing, and value-added services. Similar mid-sized private operator competing for B2B distribution contracts in Italy.
