Note:

The Italian logistics industry is the most fragmented in Europe and is generally considered to be immature. The logistics industry composes about 11.5% of GDP and it is “transport intensive.” For this reason the competitiveness depends very strongly on the public infrastructure policies. Italian supply chains could be defined as international-based, export-oriented and really open- minded. The main effort in improving supply chain operating capabilities is still cost reduction; primarily via outsourcing to Romania, Eastern Europe and, more recently, to China. If foreign companies understand the “Italian way” of management, there are potentially good investment opportunitites in Italy.
