The origins
Mac Port was created in 1987 based on the vision of Giordano Bilotti who, working as an operator at Compagnia Portuale di Ravenna, had the intuition to establish a company specialised in the modern mechanisation of port areas. Giordano had the opportunity to gather first-hand experience in the ports of the south of Italy and he understood their potential. Thus, Mac Port took its first steps and has grown constantly over time, becoming renowned in the port industry at national level.
