CITAL was born from owner's experience and spirit, Armando Lenardi, who founded the company of the same name in 1970 operating in heat generation and field maintenance for one of the major Italian paper mills, Burgo Spa. Over the years, the increasing knowledge in processing of special and stainless steel material oriented the company core business towards pressurized and not pressurized equipment for oil & gas, chemical, food, paper mill and power field. In 1984, the company was renamed CITAL Srl and moved to new facility with larger office and workshop, located in Verzuolo (Italy).
