Alpha Trading, a prominent Genovese company specializing in fuel sales and naval refueling supplies, has acquired the Port Depot of Trieste from the Tosto group, taking over 100% ownership of the concessionary company Seastock. This acquisition was announced by former partners Adriaan Parodi and Stefano Marchiol, who participated in the management buyout operation that took place in 2013 when they purchased the controlling interest of the enterprise from the Brancacci family. The enterprise is led by Adriano Parodi and Stefano Marchiol with plans for investments worth around 2 million euros within the next five to ten years, aimed at making the depot more efficient and flexible, enhancing workplace safety, environmental protection, and information security.

The acquisition of Seastock represents a strategic step for Alpha Trading and is the first step in a growth path within the terminals of the Mediterranean oil sector. They aim to make further acquisitions in the area over the next 12 months, strengthening their presence in energy logistics, investing in infrastructure capable of responding to both traditional product needs and increasing demand for sustainable energy products. Genoa-based company also has a multi-year experience in naval bunkering, highlighting that it is among the top ten independent operators worldwide with approximately 3.5 million tons sold (as of 2026, ndr). We are active in producing and marketing biodiesel since 2004 and were one of the pioneers in developing this market for self-generation.

In recent years, however, we have increased our offer of biofuels also for maritime transport. Alpha Trading was present on the coast structure of Trieste since 2018, recalls Parodi, as a physical supplier of bunker fuel. 'We are already owners of other depots in Carbonara Scirea and Solbiate Olona. This is fiscal, administrative, where historically we have had our activities both with fossil fuels and modified coal production and biofuels.'

The company currently has around 85 employees, with revenue of approximately €2.3 billion, and net assets of about €85 million in 2026. It operates offices of representation in Singapore, India, and Denmark. Parodi and Marchiol head the company, having previously held managerial positions within it since acquiring control from the Brancaccio family in 2013 through a management buyout. The enterprise enjoys strong international presence, headquartered in Genoa with operations across various geographical areas, including the Mediterranean region where investments have been made in energy-efficient infrastructure capable of meeting sectoral needs.
