HISTORY: When Philip Attard Senior founded Attrans in 1976, he was one of the very first in Malta to carry out commercial transports throughout the country. In fact, Mr Attard began as an independent agent, who imported machines and vehicles from the UK and transported them via southern Italy, using the ro-ro service which was available at that time. After a few of these trips he was contacted by other import agents and asked to transport their cargo from northern Italy and the United Kingdom. Within a short space of time, Attrans developed into a Maltese transport company (in 100% private ownership). Today the company s premises at Zebbug covers an area of m² with office buildings, workshops, storage units and transhipment space. 03
