Company foundation
The beginning and relationship with the local area
Driven by the desire to do business while believing in new technologies, which at the time were very expensive and came from the United States, a small company was born in the “fabulous 1980s” and began its journey in the local area, working with companies that symbolized Ligurian industry: Rinaldo Piaggio, Italsider, Ansaldo. At this stage, the core business was production engineering related to the design of equipment and machinery. Another area was topographic and cartographic services for clients such as Enel, Sip and Autostrade.

The turning point
The crisis and internationalization
The Italian industrial crisis also affected Liguria and, in the early 1990s, the company found itself facing a dramatic drop in work from its main local clients, all of whom were in serious difficulty. Out of necessity, the company’s horizons shifted to the rest of Italy and abroad, expanding into sectors it had never tackled before (paper converting, medical, automotive). Without the internet and all the technologies that today make contact between people and companies easier, it set off abroad with the classic “suitcase in hand”, particularly towards southern France, where in those very years the foundations were being laid for what is now Europe’s main aerospace hub.
