1899-2008: 109 years of real work
109 years of real work
CPL Concordia headquarter in Italy
From its constitution in 1899 until the 1930s, CPL Concordia dedicates itself to works of excavation, land reclamation, canaldigging, construction of embankments, laying out of roads.
Following repeated difficulties, between 1936 and 1945, the cooperative ceases its own activities because of lack of work.
The activites recommence immediately following the war, with the use of new technologies which permit the mechanisation of a large part of the works. The decision to modify the corporate name to CPL dates from 1948: CPL is a cooperative company with responsibility for production and work at Concordia, a supporter of the National League of Cooperatives. Up until the start of the 1960s, CPL Concordia continues along the traditional track, though not without elements of diversification, such as in the case of the construction companies in the water sector and the first works in reinforced concrete.
But the most significant year for CPL Concordia will be 1964 when Giuseppe Tanferri (President) and Bruno Bighi (Technical Director) decide to take the big step: the construction of networks for the distribution of methane gas.
Over the course of several years, they consolidate this type of activity, which, in the first years of the 1970s, runs side by side with the transformation of the equipment and apparatus and of the distribution plants for the correct use of methane gas and the “safe gas service”.
In the opening years of the 1980s, CPL actively participates in the “methanisation” of the Mezzogiorno; this is how the management business began. They also take the first steps in new sectors which will become consolidated over time: district heating, heat management, combined heat and power. During the 1990s, CPL intensifies its presence in the management and distribution sectors, with an eye to the development of ever more innovative.
