The Stante group was established by Roberto Stante in 1973 and its aim today is to be one of the most active players in the international forwarding and logistics market. The individual companies that make up the group are run by second generation members of the original family and by company member managers. Currently about 150 professional personnel are employed with the company turning over about 70 million euro in 2007.

The mission and values that the company have developed have been the driving force for its steady growth.

It has been our firm belief over the whole of the last thirty years that the personnel, the experience, the intuition, ideas and the skills of each of us are vital impulses to the value system upon which our group's work its based. The system of values is characterised particularly by transparency, which has become both an objective and instrument at the same time.

The value system translates into three concreter commitments on our part:

• innovativeness and constant improvements to the services offered
• quality also in terms of continuous monitoring of internal and external systems
• listening, i.e. with the aim of building and developing relationships with our customers.

From every commitment emerges a model for action and for the services, with the whole of Stante’s managerial philosophy rooted in these concrete commitments.

The methods and solutions the management of the Stante group offers to domestic and international markets for its freight forwarding and logistics services are real company strengths.
