QUANTA STOCK and GO

What QUANTA STOCK and GO does

QUANTA STOCK and GO (legal entity: Quanta Stock srl) is a privately held Italian food logistics provider founded in 1995 and headquartered in Reggio Emilia. The company operates as the exclusive logistics provider for Cirfood s.c., Italy's leading collective catering company, managing centralized inbound storage, FEFO-based order preparation, and temperature-controlled distribution of food raw materials to Cirfood's kitchen network across northern and central Italy (school meals, hospital and elderly care catering). Operations are delivered through a tripartite consortium with Coopservice (warehouse personnel and transport fleet) and Transcoop (transport fleet and Gavassa facility host) that has been in place since 1995.

The integrated platform combines approximately 6,500 sqm of multi-temperature warehouse capacity (2,100 sqm dry goods at Gavassa within Transcoop's facility, 3,500 sqm at Gattatico hosted by Lineage for fresh 0–4°C and frozen -20°C) with a refrigerated fleet of 40+ vehicles executing 30+ nightly delivery tours. The technology stack includes GEP Informatica's WMS SIGEP for warehouse management, Datalogic-powered Voice Picking for hands-free operations, Cargoful TMS for dynamic route planning, and Visirun for daily trip optimization. The company holds a comprehensive certification stack (ISO 9001, 22000, 22005, SA8000, 14001, BIO, EPD) and the Rating di Legalità.

The business model is a B2B managed services contract (quote-based, tailored pricing) in which Quanta captures fees from dedicated logistics operations serving a single anchor client. The February 2025 fire at an adjacent facility destroyed the original Via Due Canali headquarters; operations resumed within 40 days across two new sites, all certifications were renewed, and full employment was preserved. A new 9,700 sqm facility, Q-Home 5.0, is under construction in Cavriago with inauguration planned for H2 2027, signaling continued capacity expansion alongside the existing Cirfood relationship.
