VdA Logistica

What VdA Logistica does

VdA Logistica is an Italian road-freight transport and logistics company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Cerrione (Biella), with a regional branch in Prato serving as the hub for Tuscany operations. The company specializes in national and international groupage (collettame) and full-load (completi) transport, with daily connections between its Biella and Prato locations and additional capabilities in exceptional transport, machinery transport, trade fair logistics, and express services. Its fleet spans vans up to 20 quintals, rigid trucks up to 145 quintals, tractor units, and maxi-volume semi-trailer combinations, all equipped with satellite tracking for real-time monitoring.

The company operates approximately 10,000 square meters of warehouse space across its two sites, offering container unloading, storage, packaging, and order fulfillment services, with computer interfacing capability for electronic data exchange with clients. The technology stack is conventional for an Italian SME road-freight operator: satellite-based vehicle telematics, direct EDI-style data exchange, and a website contact form as the primary digital customer-acquisition channel.

VdA Logistica generates revenue through per-shipment and contract-based fees for transport and warehousing services, sold via direct sales to B2B industrial and commercial clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through the in-house commercial team via phone, email, and website inquiries. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, no subsidiaries, and is an associated member of the Unione Industriale Biellese.
