The Termomeccanica Group was founded in La Spezia in 1912 as "Società Cerpelli & C." and later became "Termomeccanica Italiana S.p.A." The company designed and built machinery for both fluids compressing and pumping in the industrial and marine sectors. During and after World War I, machines were produced with all kinds of engines: mechanical, electric, and steam, for industry, the Merchant Navy, and the Italian Navy.
1930
In the 1930s, technological growth led to the development of refrigeration units, with fast compressors of different sizes, for both marine and land applications.
With the electronics revolution, automation applications were developed, culminating in the creation of sophisticated refrigeration plants, pumping stations, water treatment and desalination plants.
1950
Since the 1950s, the company has expanded its scope of activity to environmental plant engineering, first in civil and industrial wastewater treatment, and later in waste treatment and disposal and energy production from renewable sources.

TM.E. S.p.A. - Termomeccanica Ecologia was established in 1978, and in the following years developed transforming the plant engineering division of Termomeccanica into the company we know today, assuring a wide range of technologies and a significant know-how through the merge of: De Bartolomeis, a pioneer and developer of municipal solid waste incineration technology; Ansaldo Acque, an international specialist in water treatment; Ansaldo Tecnitalia, a leader in rotary kiln technology.
