Dachser Italy Food Logistics appoints Alessandro Scotti as new general manager

Dachser Italy Food Logistics begins a new phase in its management by appointing Alessandro Scotti as the new general manager of the company.

The handover

After many years at the helm of the organisation, Roberto Specos is concluding his professional career, leaving a stronger, more structured and more integrated company than when he took responsibility for it. Taking over the reins will be Alessandro Scotti, who has already been part of the organisation for two years, with the aim of guiding the company through its next phase of growth.
What is beginning is not simply a change of leadership, but a transition that combines continuity and development, experience and forward-looking vision. An evolution built on foundations consolidated over the years and aimed at further strengthening Dachser Italy Food Logistics’ position within the European network.

Roberto Specos’ journey

Looking back at the journey completed, Roberto Specos emphasises with satisfaction the work carried out in recent years. The company has undergone a profound transformation, based on three main areas: strengthening integration within the European network, standardising processes and organisational growth. An evolution that has made it possible to consolidate the company’s presence in the Italian market and increase competitiveness, operational quality and reliability.
In this process, theEuropean Food Network represented a decisive strategic element, offering customers an increasingly integrated service at international level. As Specos points out, growth was never pursued for its own sake, but built through solid processes, quality and a long-term vision. It is precisely this stability that now enables a smooth and structured handover.

An important legacy

For Alessandro Scotti, taking on this legacy means assuming an important responsibility, but also being able to rely on solid foundations from which to begin. The aim is not to change direction, but to accelerate the evolution already under way, maintaining strategic continuity and developing new growth opportunities.
According to Scotti, strengthening the European network is a strategic necessity for both the company and its customers. The acquisitions carried out in Europe, the alignment of processes and operational integration are elements that generate tangible value and help build a coordinated development model based on a European vision and strong local execution capabilities.
Alongside the growth of the network, both managers recognise people as the organisation’s true differentiating factor. In a complex sector such as logistics, expertise, accountability and collaboration are essential elements. Over the years, Dachser Italy Food Logistics has invested in building a corporate culture oriented towards mutual respect, recognising professional skills and the internal development of talent.
Looking ahead, the issue of people will continue to be central. Attracting and developing talent, clear leadership, continuous training and empowering teams will be decisive levers for supporting competitiveness and service quality. Although technologycan improve processes and efficiency, it is people who guarantee reliability, customer relationships and management capabilities.

The role of digitalisation in the transition

Among the strategic priorities for the coming years is also accelerating the process of digitalisation. In recent years, the company has invested in system integration, traceability and process transparency, as well as creating a team dedicated to the practical development of artificial intelligence in day-to-day activities.
For Scotti, digitalisation is not simply a technology project, but a genuine transformation of the operating model. Theuse of data, theautomation of processes and theIT integration at European level will become increasingly central to improving efficiency, quality and decision-making capabilities. In a constantly evolving market, the ability to use information quickly and effectively will constitute a decisive competitive advantage.
At the same time, attention is also increasing towards sustainability, now regarded as a structural component of the industrial strategy. Energy efficiency, transport optimisation and reducing environmental impact are objectives integrated into business processes and understood not only as responsibilities, but also as opportunities for innovation and growth over the medium to long term.

The comment

“Italy represents much more than an important market for Dachser Food Logistics: it is a strategic pillar of our growth strategy in Europe. The strong business development achieved in recent years, together with an uninterrupted leadership transition, has created the ideal conditions for accelerating sustainable, long-term growth. We are certain that the organisation is in the best position to seize new opportunities and further strengthen its role within the European Food Logistics network,” comments Stefan Behrendt, Managing Director of Dachser Food Logistics.
