A Short History of PianaTir
PianaTir was initially founded in 1974 as PIANA Giovanni, the name of its founder, who laid the foundations and fixed the objectives of the firm.
In 1995 PIANA TIR was founded, adding larger heavy goods vehicles to the fleet in order to expand the firm’s interests in Eastern Europe and the Iberian peninsula.
Through constant development of its fleet, the firm has been able to expand its clientele both at home and abroad, with a range of services relating to freight logistics, including import/export of Full Truck Loads (FTL) and freight groupage, via regular long-term contracts often lasting up to several years.
At the beginning of 1999, the firm PIANA Giovanni agreed to merge with PIANA TIR and on 30th November of that year, PIANA Giovanni was closed.
Not without difficulty, in the three months subsequent to the merger, the newly formed firm PIANA TIR s.r.l. managed to register all the vehicles that had previously belonged to PIANA Giovanni, gain the European licences necessary for them and obtain authorization from the CEMT of the Ministry of Transport in Rome.
