U. Del Corona & Scardigli S.r.l was born from the merger of two companies with great traditions in shipping: Umberto Del Corona and Fratelli Scardigli. In 2001, these two companies decided to make a radical change to their structures through a merger to achieve strategic strengthening, a better and broader service offering, and a consolidation of their presence in the shipping market.
The company was founded in 1874 as "Odoardo Del Corona", initially transshipping goods on "navicelli" through port canals. After the founder's death, his sons renamed the company "Fratelli Del Corona fu Odoardo" and focused on transporting limestone for Cementeria Italiana. In 1932, it became "Ditta Umberto Del Corona", continuing to expand its activities in the chemical and mining sectors, handling 600,000 tons of products annually in the 1950s and 60s. From the 1970s, the company adapted to new technologies, developing container-based transport services.
Founded in 1946, Fratelli Scardigli initially dealt with rail shipments and distribution in Livorno and Sardinia. In the 1950s, it expanded its maritime activities with a fleet of six ships. In 1970, it focused on international shipments, customs services, warehousing, and distribution. During the 1970s, it established a long-lasting partnership with ENI's chemical sector. The company's growth led to the opening of offices in La Spezia in 1989 and Milan in 1995 and the development of an international network of agents. The company built new warehouses and developed third-party transport services while maintaining a constant focus on service quality.
U. Del Corona & Scardigli S.r.l was founded in 2001 from the merger of Ditta Umberto Del Corona and Fratelli Scardigli, aiming to strengthen the company's strategy and expand service offerings in the shipping market. The merger integrated existing structures, expanded the operational base, and developed the organization technologically, maintaining service quality. The company internationalized by opening branches in major countries worldwide. In 2006, it established Eurteam, a company composed of five major Logistics Providers to offer customized solutions for the chemical sector's distribution chain.
