Piccini Group

What Piccini Group does

Piccini Group S.p.A. is a privately held Italian diversified construction conglomerate headquartered in Perugia, founded in 1949 as Officine Piccini and now operating through a network of 15 affiliated companies. It delivers turn-key civil works, buildings, and large infrastructure (roads, motorways, tunnels, bridges, viaducts, airports, railways, dams, ports, water systems, and urban development) for enterprise and public-sector clients across more than 80 countries, with construction turnover concentrated in Africa (55%), the Americas (20%), East Europe (10%), Italy (10%), and other markets (5%). Approximately 90% of consolidated turnover is generated from construction works, delivered via consortia, joint ventures, and project financing arrangements, with the remainder spanning Original Equipment Manufacturing (Officine Piccini Spa produces cranes, batching plants, crushers, and block-making plants), on-site precast concrete factories, architecture and urban planning, R&D and structural diagnostics, waste valorization plants (anaerobic digestion, composting, recycling), and renewable energy systems including photovoltaic and proprietary-heliostat concentrated solar power (CSP Tower) plants from 1MW to 50MW.

The company's core technology rests on integrated construction engineering rather than software, combining in-house OEM manufacturing of construction machinery with on-site precast concrete production, proprietary heliostat concepts built from locally manufactured pre-casted concrete elements for CSP Tower installations, and Best Available Technology waste treatment processes. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with technical, legal, and financial management support for large infrastructure bids; pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than published. Notable reference projects include La Scala Theatre, Juventus Stadium, Milan Malpensa International Airport, Milan Central Station, Expo 2015, Salvatore Ferragamo's Florence headquarters, Hilton Metropole Florence, Generali Assicurazioni, Perugia University Hospital, the Medina Mosque area in Saudi Arabia, and the Grand Hotel Djibloho in Equatorial Guinea, alongside two ISO 9001:2015 quality certifications covering both the machinery and infrastructure works divisions.
