Our History
From the Vision of a Man
Deeply Rooted in His Land
In 1956, Giuseppe Borsari founded the company in Nonantola after working as a sharecropper alongside his father. Initially, the business focused on trading straw and hay, transported using a former American military truck. Through dedication and a forward-looking entrepreneurial vision, Giuseppe expanded the business by investing in new vehicles and entering the forage trading market, operating across Modena and Cremona.
