Italian company Gemmo SpA is a major player in the field of large infrastructure and services, installing technological plants, public lighting and management facilities for clients throughout Europe and beyond. In a conversation with innovation development manager Massimo Nossan, Victoria Hattersley finds out about its recent high profile projects and plans for continued expansion.
F
or Gemmo, its full project engineering services are what sets it apart from its competitors. Established in 1919, the Vicenzabased company continues to refine its offer, moving increasingly into the areas of sustainable production and control and monitoring systems. Gemmo specialises in large turnkey infrastructure projects, offering a wide range of services encompassing electrical systems and mechanics, from engineering to commissioning. The majority of its work is concerned with contracting and carried out on its customers’ sites; however, its headquarters in Vicenza also house a small production site for the manufacturing of electric panel boards, mainly for use in its own projects.

Fully integrated Gemmo’s services are focused on four main sectors: hospitals, airports, large civic infrastructure projects such as tunnels, and public lighting. Its clients are mainly government bodies, healthcare providers and large financial institutions. For each of these markets it carries out the full installation, engineering and maintenance from start to finish. System integration is very important for the company. In recent years it has diversified its activities through integrating its production and technological services such as maintenance and overall management. This ‘two-step’ approach has allowed it to win major clients: it doesn’t just build, but is also present long after its systems are up and running.
