Our roots
The notion of using cable-pulled carriages to transport people and goods probably dates back to the Renaissance, but the idea was actually put into practice only at the end of the 19th Century following developments in the field of metal technology.
The Italian engineers Giulio Ceretti and Vincenzo Tanfani, driven by great enthusiasm, established the company in Milan.
Success was immediate and their products were exhibited at many fairs and exhibitions during the Belle Époque period.
Over the following years the company also began to focus on lifting solutions and completed civil and military works across the five continents for over five hundred different clients.
Ceretti Tanfani builds systems for tourism facilities, ports and industries, without ever neglecting its mission to consider each new project as an opportunity to study and apply tailored solutions to specific problems.
