SVAT was founded in 1945 at Tombolo, in the province of Padova, with the company name “Veneta autotransportes TOMBOLO” from the family Frigo and Tombolato as transporters of live animals. The area was in fact rich with companies active in the field of meat the company felt the need to specialize themselves in the transport system. The next phase saw the introduction of refrige-rated trucks, in function of the distance of the routes. It is the first approach to the European market and intends to become strategic in the years to come. In 1980 SVAT decides to open itself to the market of the food industry, accentuating a speciali-zation which has brought the company to acquire a position of le-adership in the transportation and storage of frozen foods.

SVAT Services spa was born in 1996, with the goal of extending the range of services and extend the micro distribution in Italy. The company, which sees the participation of Stefano Tomasi to which is assigned the commercial direction is speciali-zing themselves in “logistics at low temperature" is quickly as-suming a leading role in the sector. In those years there wasn’t a company able to carry out its activity as a groupage and di-stribution of frozen products and the market was experien-cing its first phase of expansion. Not all the companies that pro-duced frozen were equipped to cope with the growing market, and the large multinationals were in need of a logistics centre on national territory ". The first logistics platform was set up by SVAT in Verona at the “ general stores ” , and operates until 2003, the year in which the first storage facility refrige-rator was build at Nogarole Rocca, that after further enlar-

gements today has an operating capacity of 11,500 pallet . Before the initiation of Nogarole Rocca there was already a branch operating in Montepran-done, in the province of Ascoli Piceno, with a capacity of 2,500 pallets. The types of service are of two types evenly divided. Cu-stomers that entrust us their goods on consignment and we handle on their behalf orders and delivery; customers that handle and work in cross do-cking. In both cases these are companies that have decided to manage outsourcing activities of storage and/or distribution through our system, reaching faster the final customer.

A S A M O D E L O F O R G A N I Z A T I O N A L

In order to meet the particular need SVAT has created an organizational model to a network that allows to over-see almost the whole Italian territory. In 2006 Svat has opened a third platform logistics equipped for the frozen in Paliano near Roma, with a capacity of 2.500 pallet which was followed with the expansion in Lom-bardy with the transfer of the subsidia-ry, existing since year 2000, to Massa-lengo near Milano, with a capacity of 11.000 pallet. Within these four areas our fleet of group moves consisting of 70 articula-ted trucks, which is flanked by about 200 carriers that work for SVAT conti-nuously and guaranteeing coverage and continuity of the service on the entire national territory. The current growth is related to the splitting of orders in part caused by the crisis and in part from the increase of the consumption of frozen products, foodservice that do not have adequate space to accommodate large orders ".In this case enters in field the service of physical distribution of frozen food that provides the delivery of frequent small quantities by suitable transport that also have access to city centres. "

A quality of service that is unmatched capable of supporting the evolution of the sale the recent years. A time ago there was a local dealer that united commercial experience and logistics. Companies today are more and more oriented towards the sale to the final user through the modern system, for this reason requires nearby structured stores and warehouses with appropriate means to ensure the cold chain, for this reason the network has been improved with the contribution of regional partners, that in respect of the rules allows you to increase the micro distribution maintaining the high stan-dard of services provided by SVAT.

The facilities of the refrigerators are at the forefront controlled by a equipped computer system with continuous mo-nitoring systems. To ensure the conti-nuity of the cold chain goods are unlo-aded and loaded through the dock shelter connected to the cells of the warehouse. In the cold stores the faci-lities were build so that in the event of an emergency or lack of energy it keeps everything closed, the thermal dispersion is almost nothing this way we can say that all the goods will remain absolutely in safe conditions. The computer system handles input and output of the products on the basis of the date of expiry F. E. F.
