HISTORY

1960'S

In 1959 the first freight forwarder office in Alessandria, Italy was opened.  Within a few years the staff increases and Ferrari grows thanks to the activity of customs broker, developing specific skills that will forever distinguish the company.

1970'S

Thanks to the company’s innovative culture, Ferrari becomes the first European Community Air Courier.
Customers are, at first, mainly Italian businesses from the “golden triangle of Italian jewelry”, composed by Valenza Po (with high-end luxury jewelry producers), Vicenza and Arezzo (with mid-high range productions, very appreciated also overseas) – plus customers from Milan, which represents a major center of trade.
The Made in Italy jewelry industry, with Ferrari’s operational support, imports precious metals and gemstones and exports finished jewelry products to Europe and the United States.
The joint venture to open Antwerp’s branch, serving the diamond business, marks the first step towards creating an ever-growing network of correspondents and affiliated companies in Europe and, later, around the world.

After the Maastricht Treaty, the customs broker activity becomes secondary.  With a visionary outlook, the company had been exploring new possibilities: renewing its business model, Ferrari expands to further international markets in the U.S. and Asia, with significant investments in new branches openings.
The most popular services are air-freight forwarding and customs procedures consulting, while new tailor-made services such as integrated logistics, quality control and after-sales services are created ad hoc to support the activities of major customers.
