What DACHSER & FERCAM Italia does

DACHSER & FERCAM Italia srl is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Bolzano, formed as a joint venture between FERCAM S.p.A. and DACHSER Group SE & CO. KG. The entity combines FERCAM's two decades of Italian logistics expertise with DACHSER's pan-European network and standardized processes to deliver distribution and contract logistics services across Italy. Its core operating footprint spans 35+ branches (filiali) and over 30 logistics centers of varying sizes, from small local depots to large automated warehouses.

The service portfolio is built on two pillars: Distribution Services (Groupage national and international, Home Delivery with assembly, and Express) and Contract Logistics, which offers customized warehouse management and supply chain consulting. International reach is delivered through the entargo platform — a standardized European transport product family comprising targospeed (time-definite with morning variants and 24-hour cross-region service), targofix (fixed-day delivery), targoflex (economy standard), and targo on-site (B2C last-mile with scheduled, evening, fixed-date, and assembly variants). Adjacent offerings include classicline for extra-European transport, directload for partial and full loads, Food Logistics with the Vivengo product line, Customs Services, Quality Management, and industry-specific solutions for Chem and DIY sectors. Digital infrastructure consists of the myD&F customer portal, eLogistics shipment management, ActiveReport proactive monitoring, and ProductPilot route search.

Commercially, the company operates a sales-led enterprise go-to-market via its branch network with quote-based pricing and no public rate cards. Revenue is generated through transaction-based transport fees for distribution products and managed-services contracts for contract logistics. Target customers span B2B shippers, B2C end consumers (through Home Delivery), Contract Logistics clients requiring tailored warehouse solutions, and GDO (large organized retail distribution) chains. DACHSER Group acts as the strategic operating parent, and the JV shares brand, technology, and process standards with the wider DACHSER enterprise.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• GLS Italy: General Logistics Systems Italy, part of the European GLS parcel network. Competes head-on with the JV's entargo/targospeed products and Italian branch-network parcel services.
• BRT (Bartolini): Italy's largest domestic parcel and groupage carrier, owned by Poste Italiane. Direct competitor in B2B groupage and B2C home delivery across the same Italian footprint that DACHSER & FERCAM Italia targets.
• SDA (Poste Italiane): Express courier arm of Poste Italiane with nationwide Italian coverage and strong B2C volume. Comparable in groupage, express and last-mile delivery services within Italy.

Broad incumbents

• Kuehne+Nagel: World-leading freight forwarder with significant Italian road and contract logistics operations. Comparable as a global logistics incumbent serving enterprise customers across multiple verticals including food and chemicals.
• Geodis: French global logistics provider with substantial Italian road freight, contract logistics and freight forwarding operations. Comparable end-to-end portfolio to the JV's distribution + contract logistics offering.
• DACHSER Group SE & Co. KG: German-headquartered parent company and 50% JV owner. Operates a global road, air and sea logistics network (>€8B revenue scale); the JV is effectively its Italian distribution platform but DACHSER's wider network defines the strategic and operational benchmark.
• DSV A/S: Global transport and logistics operator with strong European road freight and contract logistics presence. Competes with the JV on European groupage and contract logistics for enterprise accounts.
• DHL Express / DHL Supply Chain Italy: Global logistics incumbent with strong presence in Italian express, parcel and contract logistics. Competes with the JV across express, B2C and supply chain solutions, particularly for enterprise customers.
• FERCAM S.p.A. Italian-headquartered logistics group and 50% JV parent. Operates broader transport and warehousing services across Europe and North Africa, and remains a comparable broader-scale Italian-rooted 3PL even while participating in the JV.

Emerging players

• Spediamo (Tolemaco / Packlink Pro): Italy-based digital freight marketplace and aggregator enabling SME shippers to book groupage/express services online. Represents the digital-native competitive threat that contrasts with the JV's branch-based, quote-driven sales model.
