What Studio Tecnico Associato PROEL does

Studio Tecnico Associato PROEL is a professional engineering partnership founded in 1996 and headquartered in Bologna, Italy. The firm provides specialized design and consulting services in electrical and technological systems, fire prevention, and renewable energy — with a focused capability in photovoltaic plant engineering. Its service portfolio spans lighting-system design, electrical distribution, ATEX-classified hazardous-area engineering, photovoltaic plant design, and Italian fire-prevention compliance documentation.

PROEL operates a project-based B2B and B2G business model, serving both enterprise clients and public-sector entities across Italy (with at least one cross-border engagement in Budapest). Named clients include Bologna Airport, Comune di Bologna, TEAPACK, SAVHOTEL, Gruppo GVS, AC Hotels, Hotel Parlament (Budapest), Azienda Ospedaliera di Parma, FICO Eataly World, SACMI, and Scuola Primaria Bruno Lunedei (Fiorano Modenese). Documented project scale includes a €23M+ electrical infrastructure engagement at Bologna Airport, a 5MW photovoltaic installation, and a 3,835-fixture lighting retrofit. The firm's methodology is anchored in BIM, and it holds ATEX certification for hazardous-environment design.

The partnership is privately held and bootstrapped, with four named partners (Francesco Piergiovanni, Pierpaolo Tonelli, Marco Grillini, Massimo Ghesini) and a total headcount of approximately five. PROEL participated in the Regione Emilia-Romagna POR FESR 2014/2020 program to subsidize BIM adoption.
