## History[edit]

Perlini started as an industrial vehicle transformation company in 1957. In 1961, it started directly producing dump trucks, still its main business today. In the sixties, Perlini started selling a very large volume of dump trucks in the Chinese market, starting a very important commercial relationship, enduring through the years until the beginning of twenty-first century. Perlini trucks were employed in many large projects, including the construction of the Xiaolangdi Dam and Ertan dam.

In the late eighties, Perlini started participating in competitive races with its on-road dump trucks. The Perlini 105F "Red Tiger" has notably won the Dakar Rally four consecutive times, from 1990 to 1993.[1]

In 2010, at the Bauma Construction Equipment fair, Perlini announced a partnership with Volvo Construction Equipment[2] for distribution in the European market.

After the company went bankrupt in 2016, has been bought by Cangialeoni Group in 2018, now the new Industrie Macchine Perlini work in Gambellara and produce the latest rigid dumpers.
