centres, hospitals, hotels and industrial buildings. It offered a complete range of engineering
services. We complemented each other well in terms of our expertise, clients and even
locations, Intertecno being situated in Milan and ourselves in Rome. The merger has been an
outstanding success. Together, we are now one of Italy’s principal engineering and consultancy
firms, on a national market that is relatively fragmented.
From this strong position we continued to develop our activities in the tertiary property and
hospitality sectors. We are proud to have built or restored a number of iconic buildings and
some of the country’s finest hotels. Our multi-site activities have continued at a fast pace in
both the banking and oil sectors, in the latter case with the Italian leader ENI in particular.
We have also set up a team specialising in the environment and renewable energy, which is
carrying out various services for ENEL, Italy’s main electricity supplier. And we have developed
our export activity in central Europe and the Middle East.
