THE COMPANY
Origins, Innovation, and Growth
In 1963, Giara Ganci Traino was founded in Turin, pioneering the production of towing devices. In 1976, Umbra Towbars was established in Perugia by three craftsmen who began manufacturing light trailers. The two companies connected through trade fairs and events, forging a lasting collaboration. By 1995, production was centralized in a single national facility.
Since 2009, under the leadership of a sole proprietor, Umbra Towbars has focused exclusively on the production of tow hooks, expanding its presence in international markets thanks to European certification.
