About Us

Since 1977, Dap Sides has been supporting the growth of Italian and international brands. We started in publishing and, over the years, expanded into new sectors such as apparel and furniture, while maintaining the same attention to detail and processes.

Today, with 5 logistics hubs in the Milan area and over 45,000 sqm of warehouse space, we manage more than 2 million shipments every year. Under the leadership of Matteo Oteri, we have combined nearly fifty years of experience with an advanced WMS and a user interface designed to make e-commerce flows easier and more transparent to manage, in Italy and abroad.

A family story that continues to grow, with the same passion for logistics that has always driven us.
