In 1928, building contractor Johann Arnet-Wigger (1890-1981) founded a haulage company. He also offered trips in a club car. The club car consisted of a truck with benches on the loading area. The transport services were used, for example, by the Entlebuch fire department to reach burning buildings. Clubs also used the easily convertible coach for excursions.

In 1944, Johann Arnet-Wigger handed over the "transport" branch of the business to his son Hans Arnet-Huwyler (1920-2010). In 1954, Hans bought the first new truck, a 125 hp Saurer diesel. Blue became the company color. In 1965, the business location was moved from Eimatt to Ziegelmatt (now Russacher 6 and 8) in Entlebuch. In the same year, the Magirus-Deutz all-wheel-drive vehicle was purchased especially for a major road construction project in Sörenberg. By then, the company fleet included two intercity vehicles in addition to tipper trucks.

In 1972, Hans Ruedi Arnet-Odermatt (1947) took over the two interurban vehicles from his father. Hans Ruedi Arnet-Odermatt created a new logo for the takeover. As early as 1973, a (used) lifting crane was purchased and installed on one of the two interurban vehicles, a Scania Vabis LB76. From then on, crane work became an important area of activity for the company. In 1978, the company was commissioned by the municipality of Entlebuch and later by the canton of Lucerne to carry out snow clearance work on the cantonal road with its own plow. In 1982, Hans Ruedi Arnet also took over the tipper trucks and the parking garage from his father. Another milestone was the contract for waste disposal for the municipality of Entlebuch, which was initially carried out with a rented vehicle. With the establishment of a special-purpose association, the disposal area was steadily expanded. From 2003 onwards, waste disposal was carried out in seven municipalities in Entlebuch with a new vehicle owned by the company. Over the following years, the vehicle fleet continued to grow and the versatility of the business expanded. In 2011, the sole proprietorship Hans R. Arnet was converted into arnet transporte ag as part of a long-term succession plan.

True to tradition, Erika and Hans Ruedi Arnet-Odermatt are handing over the wheel to the next generation after 45 years of "transpörtle." On New Year's Day 2017, the public limited company will be handed over to the next, third generation. Adrian Arnet will take over the management of the company from this date. The company continues to diversify into a logistics partner for various regional industrial companies.

On December 31, 2022, arnet transporte ag was allowed to acquire Sammelsurium AG Wolhusen from Brigitte Imbach as a result of a succession plan. Sammelsurium AG is a well-known recycling company in the Wolhusen region and beyond. Sammelsurium AG's field of activity ideally complements that of arnet transporte ag, further strengthening the company's comprehensive waste disposal and logistics solutions.
