The company Fratelli Fattorini Sagl was estalished by 4 brothers on 19 March 1944 in Balerna. Originally it was a factory producing soap, soda, wax and related merchandise.
In 1981 the firm started to move goods for other companies. It distributed these in Ticino, using just two delivery vans and two trucks. The firm began to specialize in transporting goods to the German speaking parts of Switzerland and to Italy for the main forwarding agencies in Chiasso. Fratelli Fattorini Sagl grew and developed, whilst the manufacturing side of the company gradually decreased.
In 1986 the company was taken over by cousins Elio and Pietro Fattorini and moved to a new location in Via Torracia 17a, Novazzano. They changed the name to Fattorini Autotrasporti Sagl.

From this time, the firm carried out transporting goods between Switzerland and Italy and the storage of merchandise.

After Elio Fattorni died, his sons Massimo and Stefano took over the management of the firm.

Nowadays, Fattorini has the reputation of being the most significant haulage operator in Ticino, distributing goods throughout Switzerland and internationally, from Ticino, using combined road and rail transport.
