The company was founded in 1947 by brothers and mechanical engineers Ferdinaldo and Carlo Venieri. Before starting the company they worked in a workshop to fix broken machines. [2]

In 1948 they built their first machine, a caterpillar tractor. [2] Wheeled tractors began in 1953. [2] Engines were supplied by Guldner and Slanzi. From 1956 Perkins P4 diesel engines were used. [3]

From 1962 the company started to produce forklift trucks. From 1968, hydrostatic transmissions were available for earth-movers and forklifts.

In 1980 Venieri S.p.A. moved to a new modern factory, and production started of wheel loaders and backhoe loaders.
