SPIG, which stands for Società per Impianti Generali [Company for General Installations], was founded in 1936 by Ing. Fernando Bonati and Ing. Agar Sorbatti, (one of the first ten female engineers in Italy) to design, build and commission cooling systems and cooling towers.
In 1996, the Company became part of the United Dominion Industries.
Originally located in Milan, in 1997 the Company moved to a new headquarters in Arona, close to Lake Maggiore.
In 2003 the 3rd generation of the Company’s founders bought the SPIG brand and related Goodwill back.
Over the years the company’s business has evolved considerably, making it today one of the leading worldwide providers of Cooling Towers.
