Alpha-Loreno is a St Samuel automobile manufacturer founded in 1906.


History

The company was founded in 1906 when friends, Martino Loreno, a mechanical engineer and Umberto Alpha, a local business man came together to start the company in Pistenzia, Mont Canisi, at the time known as P.A.C. (Pistenzia Automobile Corp). Loreno took care of the production side and Alpha, with his large amount of contacts and associates took care of the sales side.

The very first vehicle produced was the PAC 10 HP. In 1911 the company changed it's name to Alpha-Loreno and by the 1920's the company had built up a reputation of being stylish, solid and reliable motor vehicles. In the 30's Alpha-Loreno managed to secure a contract with the St Samuel armed forces.
