History

CBS from 2019 to today

CBS was founded in 2019 by three partners to cover the stage the group was missing, mounting the equipment on the vehicle. Hooklift, crane and tipper bodies, cranes on containers and trailers.

Together with Carnovali the company covers the entire environmental supply chain, from the equipment to the vehicle that takes it on the road. The Brescia sites have been joined by Trezzano Rosa, which follows customers in Lombardy before, during and after the purchase.

In 2022, three years after it was founded, came the first two acquisitions: Danese, established in Belfiore in 2000 around lifting equipment, and Piacenza Rimorchi, an Italian trailer and semi-trailer marque. Both companies have kept their own marque and their own organisation.
