Founded in 1929 in Chiasso, SA Luciano Franzosini supports companies with international transport and customs operations.
Canton Ticino is strategically located for trade between Switzerland and European markets. From here, Franzosini helps clients meet the operational and documentation requirements of their shipments.
SA Luciano Franzosini is the main operating company of Tepoorten Group SA, the Chiasso-based holding company that brings together a specialised ecosystem: Franzosini Italia Srl for Italian customs clearance; Franzosini Monaco Sarl for operations in the Principality of Monaco; Franzosini & Butti Limited, the customs agency in Dover created to address post-Brexit requirements; and EZdatacenter SA, dedicated to digital archiving of customs documentation and IT solutions for the supply chain.
In a sector dominated by large multinational groups, what sets Franzosini apart is its specialisation in customs operations and international trade consulting. Not just a carrier, but a partner that supports companies through the entire customs clearance process — from tariff analysis to goods classification, from preferential regime management to regulatory compliance.
The group's solidity is attested by internationally recognised certifications: Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) status granted by both Swiss and Italian customs authorities, the Dun & Bradstreet 'Risk Indicator 1' rating — the highest level of reliability — and ISO 27001 certification for information security. Concrete recognitions that guarantee clients they are working with a trusted and verified partner.
The opening of the Dover branch in the United Kingdom, in response to Brexit, exemplifies the group's ability to anticipate market transformations and turn regulatory complexity into service opportunities for its clients.
