History, values and reliability of a Swiss international freight forwarder
Since 1929, a story of excellence in international transport and logistics.
A small but great reality from the heart of Ticino
The history of Franzosini has its roots in 1867, when Luciano Franzosini started his forwarding business in Italy, along the main commercial routes between Italy and Switzerland.
As early as 1912 the business had an operational presence in Chiasso, at the strategic Italian-Swiss border, a natural point for customs and cross-border operations. In 1925 the Swiss structure was formalized as a joint-stock company, with denomination referring to Milan and headquarters in Chiasso.
March 28, 1929 marks the official birth of SA Luciano Franzosini as an autonomous Swiss entity. A decisive step that allowed the company to begin its independent international expansion.
