Over half a century of activity. A founder who was the epitome of a self-made man: Cav. Angelo Carron.
A management team who carries on the tradition in the name of innovation: the founder’s children, Diego, Arianna, Paola, Marta and Barbara Carron.
Today, the Group is made up of Carron S.p.A. and Carron Bau with headquarters in Alto Adige and operates throughout Italy, applying a multidisciplinary approach to complete complex and exclusive projects.​

Continued growth for the portfolio of orders and implementation of cutting-edge communication technology on-site, fostering continuous development, with investments also being made in employee welfare​.
The Group’s development can also be seen in its portfolio of orders, which amounted to around Euro 505 million in the first months of 2018, of which 181 acquired during 2017 and in the first quarter of 2018, 415 of which for civil construction projects and 90 for infrastructure, up from the Euro 407 million of orders recorded at the end of 2016.
Projects ongoing at the start of the year included the construction of the hospital in Fermo, for which Carron worked on the technical design after winning the contract from the Marche region, while work continued on the “Healthcare District” in Treviso. The project to restore the former post office building belonging to Kryalos S.g.r. S.p.A., on behalf of the Pacific 1 Fund, was also completed, in Piazzale Cordusio, near to Milan’s cathedral, set to be home to Italy's first Starbucks Reserve™ Roasteries. There were also some important worksites in Rome, including the restructuring of the BNL property, set to be completed in September 2018, and in the hotel industry, with the restoration of Hotel Locarno being completed in February without the hotel ever needing to close its doors. In the Milan area, projects included the redevelopment of a property in Via Chiese on behalf of Generali Real Estate, recently completed. In Trieste, Carron worked on the new Allianz headquarters and is working on the restoration of another prestigious property belonging to Allianz in the historical centre, which will become a 4-star hotel run by the American chain DoubleTree by Hilton. Work will also soon begin to build Turin’s largest nursing home. With regard to large infrastructure, work included the huge project to build the Vignola bypass, a main road link that will become fundamental to connect the provinces of Modena and Bologna. “Based on the orders in the portfolio - anticipated the architect Diego Carron - we're expecting production of Euro 190 million in 2018. One of our development drivers is the use of cutting-edge technology on our worksites”. For example? “We have begun a digitalisation process which allows all players involved with the projects to communicate, using a common interface: ‘BIM’ (Building Information Modelling). This is the construction industry’s response to the widespread use of information technology - explained Carron's president - guaranteeing optimal coordination among customers, designers, manufacturers and the company's workers.” In addition to efficiency, the Group’s development is also based on sustainability, with continuous investments in comprehensive employee and social welfare. Employee benefits include free check-ups and mammographies for staff, as well as investments to benefit society as a whole. Carron Group contributes to the non-profit “Altre Parole” Foundation to improve cancer treatment and, in August 2017, it established “Elios” together with other enterprises from the Pedemontana Veneta area - a new non-profit organisation to support local health authority no. 7 with a number of healthcare projects. The first project last December focused on the donation of a digital operating theatre for the hospital in Bassano, which is now northern Italy’s first to have technology for latest-generation, minimally invasive surgery, able to improve the quality of treatment for cancer patients. “Our focus on people, both inside and outside the company, is and shall remain at the heart of our management strategy, ensuring responsible development”, this is how the Carron family described the principles of the Group from San Zenone.

THE GROUP CONTINUES TO GROW: PRODUCTION RISES TO 217 MILLION AND THE PROJECT PORTFOLIO HAS INCREASED.

The year 2019 ended with an important, positive sign. Production increased to 217 million euros, up 5% on the previous year, while net profit in the financial statements saw a 2% increase, equal to 9.1 million euros. With EBITDA standing at 23% (YOY), reaching 15.9 million euros, equal to 7.33% of production value (+18% YOY), and EBIT improving by 21% at 14.4 million euros, equal to 6.60% of production value, the Group’s solidity and continued development is confirmed. This growth is also demonstrated by the project portfolio which at 31 December 2019 recorded a value of 913 million euros, compared to 583 million euros the previous year. The growth corresponds to a quantitative but also qualitative evolution, with the company confirming its natural ability to penetrate the target market by understanding how to act on its changing needs and consequently expanding its range of action.

Group President Diego Carron explains: “The excellent performance recorded in 2019 confirms our Group as one of the main players in the Italian construction sector. It is an important result, particularly if we consider the deep and devastating economic crisis of recent years which, as we all know, has now dramatically reappeared with the Coronavirus pandemic. However, the numbers confirm that we are on the right track: our company is large and complex, but above all it is solid and not only from a financial point of view. It has always been our mission to grow and evolve on a strong and shared basis of values, both entrepreneurial and cultural. Our principles evoke “business and ethics”, values that are inseparable and which, hand in hand, have the ability to change the world. Business without ethics generates monsters, while ethics without business adds no value to reality. We must always remember this, especially during hard times.”

Business and Ethics: together to try to change the world
Carron Group remains a solid and constantly developing company.
The 2019 financial year saw an improvement in all profit margins: production rose to 217 million euros, a 5% increase on 2018, while the Group’s net profit reached 9.1 million (+2%).
The backlog at 31 December 2019 amounted to 913 million euros compared to 583 million the previous year, growth which corresponds to a quantitative but also qualitative evolution.
It has always been the company’s intention to grow and evolve on the basis of strong and common entrepreneurial and cultural values. All the actions implemented by the Group have always been inspired by economics and ethics, two inseparable values that in tandem can change the world.
Business without ethics generates monsters, while ethics without business adds no value. This is something we should always remember, especially in difficult times.

EXPERTISE, COMMITMENT, VISION: OUR STRENGTH AGAINST THE PANDEMIC
With a turnover of EUR 250 million, consolidated net profit of EUR 9 million in line with the previous year, and a working portfolio of EUR 826 million, the Carron Group held its own against Covid and closed the terrible year of 2020 with more than positive results.

This is source of pride for myself, my family and for the whole company.

We will never forget the fear, worries and sacrifices we felt when alternating between construction site closures and re-openings. We will remember that, in spite of everything, we never failed to meet our obligations and how we managed to take on many new challenges. We have done this together, making the most of our skills and drawing on the commitment and dedication that has always distinguished our way of doing business.

Our corporate mission “Together We Grow” could not have been demonstrated more concretely.Aware of our strengths and values we look forward to the future and our new business challenges, ready to take them on. And win.

Group President Diego Carron
