Paolo Desana, industrial consulting

About me

After thirty-five years working in and around the food and logistics industries, I can say I know these sectors rather well — not least because of the strong, lasting personal relationships built one project at a time.

My background is industrial refrigeration for the food industry: together with excellent professionals we have designed and built plants for dairies, slaughtering and meat processing facilities, fruit and vegetable cold stores and, above all, logistics platforms.

Over time my focus shifted from refrigeration engineering to the search for land for new logistics developments and to advisory work on purpose-built sites, always starting from the client’s specific requirements. Today I do both, and I make them work together.

Services

Four ways I can be useful

How we work together

  1. 1

    We frame the need

    A first conversation to understand what is really required and whether the project stands up. No commitment.

  2. 2

    I search and shortlist

    Sites, land or plant solutions, verified on the ground and brought to the table already screened.

  3. 3

    We deliver

    Coordination of the professionals involved, dialogue with authorities and suppliers, through to the plant in operation.

Contact

A site, a project, or just a requirement to frame?

A fifteen-minute call is usually enough to understand whether a project stands up and what it takes to move it forward. It costs nothing and saves months.
