The history of Pietro Fiorentini represents an Italian success story about a company that was able to conquer the world. After all, for those of us whose mission it is to overcome any and all barriers and achieve objectives that seem impossible, expansion is a natural instinct. This has been the case since 1940, when the company was established, with constant growth that today makes us a Group with over 2,800 employees spread across more than 40 international locations, with a strategic commercial presence in more than 100 countries worldwide.

The Group boasts a consolidated clientele of natural gas distribution and transportation companies, oil & gas companies, EPCs, industrial end-users and utility companies, which recognise its absolute standing in terms of product and process innovation. Production is centred around a wide range of technologically-advanced solutions for the entire natural gas supply chain: from components and services for distribution and transmission networks, to a series of engineered solutions that include valves, multiphase flow meters, processing plants, reduction and metering units and stations.

More recently, In the context of the energy transition process, the Group has ehnanced its efforts to seize the new opportunities related to green energy sources, such as biomethane, hydrogen and Power-to-gas. More recently, the Group is expanding its horizons towards water metering, water cycle digitalization and in the environmental sector.

Our clients are the foundation of all our day-to-day work, as part of a customer centricity rational that does not end with a mere focus on product quality or process optimisation, but is also inextricably linked to all the other elements (technical support, maintenance services, logistics, information and communication) that distinguish our relationship. Our goal is always the same: to place our clients and their needs front and centre within an operational model that is able to use streams and resources optimally to quickly, coherently and tangibly meet their requirements, thereby reducing costs and waste to increase perceived value.

We work by integrating Lean Management principles, which has earned us the nickname of the Toyota of Italy over the course of more than 20 years of rigorous application through our Agile Team network. These principles are dedicated to developing versatile projects of the utmost importance, with a rapid and flexible rational, built on the model of modern start-ups.

Our long-time strategy is focused on sustainability, not only of our business but also of the environmental system and society in which we live. Protecting the world that we will leave to the future generations is everyone’s responsibility and, as a company, we will do our part to prevent possible negative external effects related to our business and our industry.

This goal can only be achieved through continuous investment in training and individual empowerment, by focusing on the distributed intelligence of people and giving them the autonomy they need to develop their skills, passions and motivation to the fullest. Because human capital is our real strength, and it is only through the cooperation of all our employees that we will be able to overcome the challenges of the future.
