Our History
Since the late 1800s the name Pedemont has been associated with furniture moving and storage. Our company was established by Joe Pedemont and has always been a family business, being maintained through successive generations of the Pedemont family, thus forming one of Australia’s oldest privately-owned family businesses.
At the heart of our business are the present owners, Tony and Dell Pedemont. Tony and Dell have been running Pedemonts for over 40 years. As the fourth consecutive generation, they were aware of the reputation they were committing to uphold. In turn, they have provided uncompromised levels of service and dedication to the transport industry and it’s customers since 1978.
The introduction of the 5th generation has seen some progressive building on foundations, which have been established over the past 100 years. All five of Tony and Dell’s children are involved within our business.
Driven by changing markets and demands our company has gradually transitioned into providing bulk transport, storage and warehousing solutions for businesses.
The diversity of our business, combined with a nationwide presence, gives us the ability to provide efficiencies without sacrificing the level of service that our brand represents.
Investing in a Sustainable Workplace
With many of our clients’ ongoing commitments towards responsible sourcing and methods of manufacture, we’ve responded with multiple ways to support these requirements by reducing our own direct environmental impact.
Some of these practices include:
- Implementation of cloud-based systems, significantly reducing paper consumption in all depots
- Utilizing hybrid technology for selected vehicles
- Transitioning of forklifts from fuel to electric power
- Waste management – efficient recycling of cardboard and metals
- Installation of sky/sun lights to all facilities
Strategic route optimisation - Carbon emission management and reporting via telematic platforms
- Transition to LED lighting and efficient monitoring of electricity usage in warehouses
- Prevention of single use packaging methods
These are some of the methods we have implemented over the last 20 years as we continue to look at ways we can efficiently minimise our company’s impact on the environment.
