LOCAL HEROES - WORLDWIDE
From "World Bunkering"
November, 1996
Pisano has been a well-known name in the bunkering/brokering world since 1957, when Vittorio Pisano, the father of Pietro Luigi Pisano, began acting as the exclusive bunker broker for AGIP, as well as being the agent for AGIP on the domestic market in Genoa.
Pietro L. Pisano set up a new branch of his father’s company in 1971 after seven years of training and preparation. From 1964 to 1968 he worked at Jacobs and Partners in London and learned English, as well as gaining a valuable insight into the international business arena. In 1968 he worked with his father’s company where he learned the ins and outs of the bunkering/brokering business.
Pietro L. Pisano established a new branch of his father’s company because he wanted the challenge and excitement of working on the international bunkering/brokering scene, and he saw this as a specialist area which few Italian companies exploited.
Since 1971 the company has operated under the name of PL Pisano and Co. Srl and due to their long experience of bunkering and brokering in Italy they act as local specialists for various foreign owners, co-brokers and traders.
Over the last decade their international business has achieved great success and expansion, and they now have customers in the USA, the Far East and in Mediterranean and Black Sea ports.
Despite this, Pietro L. Pisano considers their greatest achievement to be keeping the same team of staff for almost 30 years, which has enabled them to build up a reputation for honest trading, stability and long-established business links with suppliers and customers alike.
PL Pisano was the first Italian broker and one of the few broking house in the world to have been certified by Lloyds’ Register with ISO9002 in 1995.
