July 7th, 1928 Carlo Ausenda founded CIFA, Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio: a company dedicated to the design and production of radio transmitting antennas and formworks for concrete pours.
The growth ever since has been steady and particularly relevant in the 50s when the concrete became one of the founding element of the rebuilding following WWII in all Europe.
The years between 1947 and 1950 allowed CIFA to fully develop the industrial activity with the realization of dams to meet the growing demand of electricity for industrial and civil purposes.
CIFA has undergone a constant evolution focusing on concrete: in 1958 the first mixer was born together with the first mixing plants. In 1965 started the production of the first mixing trains, at the end of the 60s the first truck mounted pumps. The first MAGNUM - the truck-mixer-pump - was developed in 1975, in 1977 the first recycling plants and the first sprayed concrete pumping units in the 80s

CIFA's history is made of research, perseverance and passion leading CIFA to become an International innovative benchmark in the fields of transporting, pumping, mixing plant designing of concrete. CIFA technology thus achieved a number of acknowledged technological record
