Autamarocchi | Milestones

Milestones

A remarkable story that began in Udine in the early 1900s with a family business, then AUTA and since 1986 Auta Marocchi S.p.A.
It was the vision of entrepreneurs who were able to anticipate the needs of a growing market both in terms of volumes and in the need to have a leading player organized on a national scale and able to dialogue with a globalized clientele.

A real transport company was born with its own fleet, dependent drivers, branches in all major ports and interports and above all an innovative organization that immediately places it in the position of “Market Leader”.

1986

An important step was the merger of two competing companies active in container transport, Auta Container Service S.p.A. and Marocchi S.p.A. A new reality was born with a great development programme in the container sector.
