The acquisition process began in 2020 and was finalized on September 29, 2025. BRT reaffirms its commitment to expanding its business in the last-mile delivery segment, responding to the growing consumer demand for flexible delivery options at chosen pickup points.
“The acquisition of 100% of Fermopoint is fully aligned with our strategy to strengthen and grow our presence in Italy. This operation officially marks the launch of our Out Of Home division, addressing a trend where frequent online shoppers receive an average of 4.9 parcels per month/per person. Interest in pickup points and lockers is growing rapidly and is now the preferred alternative to home delivery,”
said Stefania Pezzetti, CEO of BRT.
There are currently 10,800 BRT-Fermopoint locations across Italy. The goal over the next five years is to expand the network to 15,000 pickup points, including 4,000 lockers, to ensure an even more satisfying delivery experience.
This network, which facilitates online shopping, is an increasingly requested service that allows customers to send and receive parcels weighing up to 20 kg and no longer than 120 cm (longest side) at affiliated pickup points such as newsstands and stationers—making both delivery and collection more flexible.
“September 29, 2025 will remain a deeply meaningful date for me, as it marks the conclusion of a journey that began in 2014 with the founding of the innovative startup ‘Fermopoint,’ now fully owned by BRT. This is an exciting challenge, as it strengthens the increasingly vital B2C and C2X business lines, allowing us to continue competing across Europe,”
said Alberto Luisi, founder of Fermopoint.
