History

Gil Stauffer was founded in 1905 by Antonio Gil. It started as a furniture storage company in a small warehouse in Madrid, Spain.[5][6]

It created offices in the main Spanish cities, with a commercial network that covered the peninsula and the Canary and Balearic Islands.[7] It developed industrial packaging, air cargo, storage and distribution of goods, and transfer of works of art; later it was extended to international transport. [8] When the war ended in 1939 with the victory of General Francisco Franco, all trucks used by the regime were returned.
