From a "Swiss Branch" to Cattaneo Impianti SA
In 2008, Italian parent company Cattaneo Impianti S.r.l., present for over 65 years in the Como area, was invited by a well-known pharmaceutical industry in the Lugano area to intervene on the breakdown of a freeze dryer; soon after this first contact with the Ticino region, Cattaneo Impianti decided to open a branch in Chiasso to assess the possibility of operating on Swiss territory in the same sectors in which the company already operated. Initially the company was called “Cattaneo Impianti S.r.l. Branch of Chiasso -Swiss Branch ". In time, the accomplishments on the territory and the desire to be an integral part of the Ticino entrepreneurial fabric, brought to the establishment of the Swiss company Cattaneo Impianti SA, in 2012.
The beginnings
The initial activities took place in two small rooms and a warehouse in the center of Chiasso: initially the team, that consisted of a salesman, an electrical engineer, a foreman and a secretary, began operating in the sectors in which it possessed strong know-how deriving from parent company Cattaneo Impianti Srl, therefore design and construction of electrical, mechanical and automation systems in the industrial sector.
Cattaneo Impianti expands its operations
After a few years of business growth, the company moved to its new headquarters in Chiasso, with an open space technical office, a secretariat, a workshop and a warehouse.
The evolution of the company’s structure
The large influx of customers, projects and opportunities expanded the company from an initial staff of four people to the current 25 people, with increasingly specialized skills in the various sectors of industry.
Expansion
Ever since its beginnings Cattaneo Impianti placed great importance in the know-how it acquired, but maintained equal openness to the evolution of technologies, thus extending its skills in all sectors of the specialist industry and integrating them with new skills.

Since the company's beginnings the internal organizational approach was based on the needs of the Customer, even for projects of medium and high complexity or with extensive territorial distribution. The subdivision of the technical office into thematic areas (electrical, mechanical, automation, specialist sectors) and the assignment of a specific Project Manager, represent a unique reference for the Customer.

Consolidation and evolution
The strength of Cattaneo Impianti is in its decades of experience in the plant engineering sector. Since 1950, the company has consolidated a status quo that translates decades of experience into financial solidity, site safety, growth of multidisciplinary technical expertise within the company, ability to serve sectors that require dedicated procedures, a historical and consolidated customer portfolio, but also a conscious orientation towards social responsibility.
We want to give evidence here of the fundamental dates in which events and the achievement of important objectives contributed to building the company, starting from its foundation, in 2008, to our days.
Following the invitation by a well-known pharmaceutical company in the Lugano area to intervene on the breakdown of a freeze dryer, Cattaneo Impianti made its first contact with the Ticino region and decided to open a branch in Chiasso in the same year.
As for these sectors, the approach came as a natural evolution from the pharmaceutical sector by following in the footsteps of the parent company.
The desire to become more closely tied to the Ticino entrepreneurial fabric led us to the opening of Cattaneo Impianti SA (as a Swiss legal entity).
Due to the constant increase of business, we moved to a larger structure (in a peripheral area of Chiasso), for the possibility of increasing the specialized staff in the technical office and to have larger warehouse and workshop spaces.
An increasingly specialized offer of integrated solutions and services allowed us to acquire a significant turnkey project that involved all sectors of plant engineering and beyond from an important Ticino pharmaceutical company.
The desire to excel lead us, with the achievement of this certification, to formalize a working method that has always been part of our daily life.
Brand restyling combined with the desire for innovation and communication of the new specialist sectors.
An increase in contracts and new operational perspectives enabled the transfer to the new headquarters in Morbio Inferiore in August 2020. The headquarters are spacious and suitable, equipped with technical and administrative offices, a warehouse and a new mechanical workshop, to accommodate the most diverse requests from customers.
