Company Profile

Historical background

The main activities currently run by Gastaldi International were started in 1949 when shipping agents Gastaldi & C, the oldest company within the group founded in 1860, were appointed Lloyd’s Agents at Naples. The appointment of Lloyd’s Agents at Genoa followed in 1962. As result of the business increase, in 1980 the Management of Gastaldi & C decided to set up Gastaldi International as an independent limited company of Marine Surveyors and Adjusters.
