VGV

What VGV does

VGV S.r.l. is an Italian B2B C-Parts Supply Chain Specialist founded in 2010 by Fabrizio Vicari in Calvisano (Brescia province), distributing mounting elements, fastening devices, and metal/plastic components across a catalog of over 40,000 articles. The company integrates engineering, supplier management, production, quality control, and logistics into a full-service offering that supplies C-class components and assemblies on Just-in-Time terms to major European automotive OEMs (Ducati, Ferrari, Stellantis) and tier-1 suppliers (Brembo, Streparava). Underlying operations rest on an internally developed Warehouse Management System (WMS), a Kanban-driven pull replenishment model, an extensive CNC machining base (over 30 lathes plus machining centers and induction hardening), assembly capacity (including 80,000 wheels/year at the Montirone facility from July 2019), and a 300 sqm quality/metrology laboratory accredited to IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001/14001/45001, plus EN 9100 / AS9100D aerospace standards.

The business model is quote-based, multi-year B2B supply with revenues generated primarily from one-time component sales, supplemented by managed supply-chain services, CNC machining services, and assembly services. VGV is a privately held subsidiary directly controlled by Sbe-Varvit S.p.A. (Milan Stock Exchange-listed) and indirectly by Vescovini Group; the broader group posted approximately €398M in consolidated 2023 revenue, while VGV S.r.l. alone reported €123.8M in 2023 revenue with approximately 200 employees. The company's growth strategy is execution-led through an aggressive programmatic M&A cadence (Minimec 2017, KKK 2018, Cagnasso 2025, Trinity Logistic 2026) and international expansion via VGV USA LLC (Elk Grove Village, Illinois) entering the North American automotive market.
