Albert Piacentini was 16 years of age when he arrived in Western Australia from Italy in 1936.By 1944 Albert was running his own timber mill in Dardanup and in 1949 was allocated a Cat D6 bulldozer on the condition he commit to clearing post-WWII soldier settlement land grants in the Margaret River area. Piacentini & Son’s involvement in mineral sands began in the 1950’s when Albert started to contract to Western Titanium, Cable Sands and Western Sands in the south west of Western Australia; the beginning of what was to become a long association with the mining industry.Albert’s son Colin joined the family business and in 1969 Piacentini & Son purchased their first scraper.
