BRIEF HISTORY:
where we come from…
After the second
world war, in the fifties and sixties Italy was enjoying the
so called “economical miracle” due to the enormous
potentiality that the U.S.A. market was giving to all the
countries that wanted to start over after the disaster left
by the end of the conflict.
In 1965 Mr. Umberto
Salviati and Mr. Livio Santori established
the Rome branch of Salviati &
Santori, which was already having good success in
Florence as international freight forwarder fully dedicated
to the North American Market. In 1967 the company was appointed
as IATA Agent.
In the following
decades, the company took the advantage of being part of a
larger group, and gained a reputation in the market as specialist
in the international forwarding industry for the tipical italian
commodities like high fashion, leather products, machinery
and mediterranean foodstuff & beverages.
The eighties brought
new generation of managers, new ideas and new working processes
due to the computers; the new people were also involved in
the ownership and beginning of the nineties the company left
the original roots and changed its name into AIDA.
Consequently, the
location in the central part of Italy was no longer sufficient
and in order to better compete with a globalized market, new
branch offices in Milano and the Port of Gioia Tauro
(deep south of the peninsula) were opened.
Nowadays the company
has new set up, new energies, new people and is able to cover
the whole italian territory from north through south, and
it is one of the very few talian multilocated freight forwarding
organizations still independently owned, servicing import
and export, sea and air consolidations to and from North America,
Middle and Far East, Australia. Additionally most of the northern
european countries are weekly connected by road services.
THE FUTURE:
where we are going to
In the new
century, Aida is body of historical tradition, with young
heart and limbs, which is running toward the future, transporting
a great baggage of experience.
