In 1969 brothers Albin and Ivan
KNAUT bought two trucks with a 10 tons load capacity and started
developing an independent business path at home, at the Cvetlična
Street in Šempeter near Gorica.
In the 70s
they performed most of the transports for the SGP Gorica bulding
company as to the arising necessities. With the opening of ABK – a
new factory of reinforced concrete constructions, there arose the
need for extraordinary transports with a cargo exceeding 33m. The
Klaut brothers performed most of those transports and they had to be
done in the ex-Yugoslav countries.
In the 80s the brothers
gradually introduced their sons to the business and they were the
ones to continue the family tradition of transport.

With a
successful managing of an independent business their successors
decided to unite the capacities in 2001 in order to create the
KLAUT
TRANSPORTATION Ltd. with its headquarters at the Vrtojba
international crossing.
