What TIS does
TIS Salatino traslochi e trasporti, operating as T.I.S. Srl, is a family-owned Italian transport and removals company headquartered in Rignano Flaminio, near Rome, with a branch office in Milan. Founded in 1983 by Armando Salatino as a freight-forwarding activity, the company was formalized in 1998 as T.I.S. Srl when the second generation (Irene and Valerio Salatino) joined. It specializes in national and international removals and freight forwarding — by land, sea and air — for residential, corporate, government and international-organization clients, including specialized handling of artworks, vehicles, boats, heavy objects, food products, animals and high-technology goods. Institutional accounts include the Italian Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, NATO agencies, EU institutions, the UN, FAO, UNESCO and Italian corporates such as Eni, Enel, Rai and Leonardo Global Solutions.
The company operates a fleet of company-owned vehicles, the 10,000+ m2 Rome headquarters built in 2010 (including a 1,800 m2 reinforced concrete warehouse and 500 m2 of offices with 24/7 video surveillance), the Monte-meubles hoist equipment for upper-floor deliveries, and video surveying adopted during the COVID-19 period to enable remote assessments. Certifications underpin market access: TIR license (since 1986), Road Hauliers Register registration, ISO 9001 (since 2008), ISO 45001 (2023) and FIDI FAIM PLUS (2022), with memberships across IAM, FEDEMAC, BAR, CSD, CBD-BKV, AITI, ANIT, Confetra and ATP providing an international agent network.
Commercially, TIS follows a sales-led, consultation-based GTM: pricing is bespoke and quote-driven, a free non-obligation technical site visit is offered, and inbound leads are accepted by phone, email, WhatsApp and an online quote form in Italian, English and French. Revenue derives from four professional-services streams — removal, transport, storage and customs/relocation — for private, business and government/diplomatic clients. Customer concentration is tilted toward institutional accounts, anchored by long-running framework agreements with the Italian ministries and international organizations.

TIS competitors and assessment
