The group traces its roots to 1973 and operates from multiple Italian locations, including Milan, Rome, Venice, and other offices across the country. The organization provides a broad range of logistics and transport services designed to cover end-to-end supply chain needs for both domestic and international shipments.
Italy-based operations feature two main service lines under the Stante Group identity: Sky Worldwide and Stante Overseas.

The service suite also includes bonded and regulated warehouses, fiscal warehouses, customs operations, and door-to-door deliveries. These capabilities highlight a focus on time-sensitive, regulated, and temperature-controlled shipments that require robust handling and compliance.
Stante Overseas emphasizes ocean freight and sea-related logistics. Core offerings include LCL consolidated shipments (direct consolidation) and FCL complete container handling, along with duties related to documentation such as FOB drafts and contract management. The division also handles dangerous goods shipments (IMO), pharmaceuticals transported at controlled temperatures, break bulk operations, and both bonded and fiscal warehousing, complemented by door deliveries.
In addition to road and air/sea transport, the group offers overland services across regions including Western and Eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Byelorussia, the Baltic States, Central Asia, and Iran. The company has invested in information technology to support warehouse management and inventory control through a custom Warehouse Management System (WMS). This system enables real-time stock visibility, web-based access to virtual warehouses, and integrated order management with email and SMS notifications for order progress, providing clients with transparent stock and fulfillment status.
The organization emphasizes a full-service approach, combining traditional freight forwarding with value-added services such as customs operations, warehousing, and insurance advisory.
