Alba

What Alba does

Alba Srl is an Italian private limited company (Società a responsabilità limitata) headquartered in Rome that provides contract logistics, handling, and supply chain outsourcing services to industrial and distribution companies operating primarily in Central and Northern Italy. Founded in January 2017 by logistics sector experts, the company operates a labor-intensive outsourced logistics model, deploying more than 1,500 active operational resources across multiple territorial units and reporting annual turnover of more than 50 million EUR. Alba positions itself as a reliable, quality-oriented partner that combines physical handling operations with consultative process optimization to address clients' outsourcing and supply-chain challenges.

The service portfolio is anchored on three core offerings: Logistica Performante (advanced logistics management models focused on flexibility and dynamism), Incremento Produttività (time-cycle analysis of all workflows to identify activities and optimize productivity), and Sinergia con i Clienti (outsourcing valorization and supply-chain process consulting). These are supported by specialist services including Consulenti Esperti (expert consulting across operational areas), Controlli Sicurezza (safety controls aligned with Legislative Decree 81/08 and qualified instructor-led training), Consulenti del Lavoro (labor-law consulting on the National Collective Labor Agreement for logistics, transport of goods, and shipping), and Supporto Legale (in-house legal support for personnel management). Alba has built a differentiated compliance footprint, holding ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, SA 8000, PDR 125:2022 gender equality certification, the AGCM Rating di Legalità, and a Modello Organizzativo ex D.Lgs. 231/2001.

Alba operates a consultative B2B sales motion, engaging enterprise clients through direct consultation and tailored quote-based pricing structured as multi-year contracts. The company maintains a content-marketing presence via its website blog covering warehouse typologies, logistics trends, and Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR). It has publicly committed to the Code of Ethical Principles promoted by Transparency International Italia's Business Integrity Forum and operates formal IT governance under a dedicated Data Protection Officer and CSIRT Referent. No public funding rounds, acquisitions, divestitures, or external institutional investors are disclosed in the available sources.
