During this time, the Lovato family wished to fully immerse themselves in the world of distribution, and therefore became a depositary and consignee responsible for handling the Lazio Region’s temperature-controlled food products. Operating from a small basement spanning 300 square meters – one that was used as a warehouse to ensure the safe storage of market goods – it wasn’t long before the Lovato family earned the necessary income to invest in a larger warehouse of 800 square meters.

Thus, CDF Logistica was able to benefit from a new perspective – one that presented it with the tools necessary to increase services, respond to increasing demand, invest in training of the highest quality, and align with clients’ ambitions. Now, Renato and Luca stand as masters of their craft, each leading CDF Logistica forward through a combination of exemplary industry awareness and genuine passion for elevating the experiences of clients and colleagues alike.
