The Piovesan legacy began in 1970, when Roberto and Vilma Piovesan established R.P. Motors, a small mechanical repair shop at the intersection of Duncans Road and Hoppers Lane in Werribee South. Initially focused on servicing cars, trucks, and tractors, the business also operated as a Caltex fuel supplier, supporting the needs of local farmers. Their dedication to quality service and strong customer relationships quickly earned them a trusted reputation within the community.

​

As demand for agricultural machinery grew, Robert and Vilma expanded their business to include tractor sales and servicing. By the late 1970s, the company had become an authorised Fiat tractor dealership, a relationship that evolved alongside the industry’s consolidation into the globally recognised New Holland and Case IH brands. Today, R.P. Motors is a leading agricultural equipment dealership, with a comprehensive range of machinery, parts, and servicing solutions.

​

Over five decades, the Piovesan family eventually established Piovesan Corporation as the umbrella entity for the Piovesan family's interests. ​Today, Piovesan Corporation continues to evolve, honouring its legacy while embracing new opportunities. With a strong foundation built by Robert and Vilma, the corporation remains committed to excellence, responsible practices, and continued growth overall.
