Galgano Informatica

What Galgano Informatica does

Galgano Informatica Srl is an Italian corporate training provider headquartered in Pantigliate (Milan), operating under the registered GALGANOFORMAZIONE® brand. The company was founded in 1983 by Engineer Antonio Galgano as an IBM Business Partner focused on IT consulting and proprietary software development on the AS/400 platform — projects included the INVASOR dealer-management system (still in use by IVECO dealerships 25+ years on), the B2B/400 e-commerce module that won a $50,000 IBM Worldwide prize in 1996, and a 2004–2013 fleet-management platform for Arval Service Lease (BNP Paribas) serving 5,000+ workshops. In 2006 the company pivoted decisively into funded corporate training, establishing GALGANOFORMAZIONE® as its primary identity and registering GALGANO TRAINING CENTER® in 2017 for labor-services work. Andrea Galgano joined leadership in 2002, formalizing a family-controlled ownership structure that persists today with no disclosed external investors.

The core offering is a 200+ course catalog spanning 9 thematic areas (workplace safety, marketing, HR management, quality systems, accounting, technological innovation, languages, IT, and management), delivered through classroom sessions at four Italian locations (Pantigliate/MI, Gallarate/VA, Rome, Ragusa), on-site at client premises, and via a proprietary e-learning platform with 100+ continuously updated online courses including video lessons, multimedia content, collaborative tools, and synchronous virtual classrooms. The company is an accredited continuing-education and labor-services provider in Regione Lombardia (since 2005) and Regione Lazio (since 2016), and holds ISO 9001:2008 quality certification.

Revenue is generated primarily by structuring training delivery around Italian interprofessional training funds (Fondimpresa, Fonditalia, Formazienda, and 10+ others), public European Social Fund (FSE) and ANPAL tenders (e.g., the KOINÈ project), and direct corporate purchase — with 0.30% INPS contributions that employers redirect to fund 100% of program costs. The company handles all funding applications, administration, and reporting on behalf of clients. It serves a base of 3,000+ Italian companies across enterprise (e.g., Tas Group, Desmet Ballestra, ROTHENBERGER, Metropolitana Milanese), mid-market, and SMB segments through direct sales, a territorial partner network, channel partnerships with trade associations (Confprofessioni, Federterziario), and event-driven tender participation. In 2024, the company joined the Digit'Ed network to scale its training offerings nationally.
