Dr. Rabbia, with what mission was FM Trasporti born?
The company was founded in 1992 with the ambitious goal of becoming an important reference point in the logistics and transport market; a challenge won thanks to a strategic vision and an innovative business approach aimed at customer centrality. Today, F.M.T. is a dynamic and future-oriented reality, with a strong vocation for technological innovation and the enhancement of human capital, which has managed to impose its leadership in a highly competitive market thanks to some high added-value peculiarities that have allowed it to experience exponential growth both in terms of turnover (+39.10% in the period 2019-2022) and geographical expansion, becoming a qualified and reliable partner for national and international companies that rely on its experience and professionalism with confidence.
More specifically, what are the distinguishing features that have allowed you to differentiate yourself from your competitors?
Right from the start, we wanted to anchor all our strategic choices to precise corporate values, such as the quality of the service provided (the operations centre is active 7 days a week, 24 hours a day precisely to guarantee punctuality, efficiency and maximum safety and to intervene promptly in the event of disruptions), technological innovation (the average age of our vehicles is barely 4 years) the valorisation of human capital (our 350 employees are undoubtedly our most important resource on whom we invest considerable resources in terms of safety and training), economic, financial and environmental sustainability (in order to control CO2 emissions, 60% of our fleet is powered by alternative fuels), and transparency towards customers and all stakeholders. These peculiarities, over time, have proven to be rewarding, allowing us to increase our brand reputation in the reference market and, consequently, to clearly differentiate ourselves from other market players. As proof of the quality of our work, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and the TAPA TSR1, Trucking Security Requirements, certification for transport security, which is now the highest certification in this sector on the global market, and important recognitions, such as the inclusion of F.M.T. in the Financial Times’ ranking of the top 1000 companies in Europe for growth, soon arrived.
How important is technological innovation for you?
Very important. As I said, we wanted to invest in a latest-generation fleet, subject to very strict maintenance protocols, precisely to ensure high standards of safety and efficiency. The safety of the people who work for us, who are the beating heart of our company, is absolutely a priority to be preserved at all costs. On the other hand, thanks to these huge investments in technological innovation, today we are perfectly able to offer a high quality service, strictly tailored to the needs of each individual customer.
So many achievements to date. Future goals?
To retain our current clientele and to continue to grow in new strategic markets, always having at heart the maximisation of customer satisfaction, also by being able to proactively anticipate the needs of an ever-changing market.
