Our history
Our history begins in Boves (Cuneo, Italy) at the end of the 1950s when Domenico Ambrogio purchased his first vehicle and set up the international haulage business. After a few years, identifying the increasing difficulties associated with long-distances transportation, Domenico Ambrogio decided to focus on intermodality and to integrate the best potential of rail and road.
Ambrogio Trasporti S.p.A. was founded in 1969
50 years later, the Ambrogio Group operates through a private European network, with 7 rail terminals, a fleet of 400 freight wagons and over 1,300 intermodal units.
