History
The history of ATB Group began in 1981 when Sergio Trombini began his entrepreneurial adventure. In Artogne, in Valle Camonica, in the province of Brescia, Semat was founded, a company specialized in civil construction, but soon expanded its field of action to the industrial sector. A continuous growth leads at first to develop maintenance activities in the most important iron and steel sites in Germany, France and Belgium for the Riva Group, and then, in 1997, to win a first order in the Ilva plants in Taranto: it is the beginning of an activity that has lasted more than twenty years and that today continues with Arcelor Mittal Italia.
The increase in business leads the group to equip itself with a technical structure designed to have high standards of control over the entire production and organizational process. A decisive step forward in terms of diversification was taken in 2003, when Sergio Trombini led his company to the acquisition of ATB – Acciaieria e Tubificio di Brescia, merging it with Riva Calzoni Impianti of Bologna. Since their origins, between the mid 1800s and the early years of the last century, these two companies have contributed to the realization of large power generation projects, supplying safe and high quality products to hydroelectric plants and refineries in different areas of the world. The entire industrial group created by Sergio Trombini acquires the ATB brand, internationally recognized as synonymous with reliability, technology and innovation.
In recent years the entrepreneur’s intuitions have allowed ATB Group to widen its horizon to the renewable energy sector, first through the resumption of the production of wind turbines – building on the pioneering experiences of Riva Calzoni in the Eighties – and then with the acquisition of Hydro Energia (later ATB Riva Calzoni Rinnovabili), a company designing and manufacturing turbines and technologies for hydroelectric plants up to 20 mW, present on the Italian market for more than thirty years. The different business sectors in which the group operates are currently managed through four divisions: Heavy Equipment, Hydro Mechanical Equipment, Renewables, Civil Construction and Industrial Services.
