OUR HISTORY -1950  TO DATE

 

SAIT was  founded in 1950 by The Cimmino Family. At that time the company core activity was the application of Thermo-Acoustical Insulation on piping, components and deck flooring in shipbuilding.  Thanks to the good performances, the Company quickly grew up consolidating its presence also in industrial field. It took part to the construction of Enel Power Plants in Naples, Bari, and Castelluccio Inferiore by performing insulation work on piping and components. Since than SAIT became one of the main providers of complete insulation solutions.

In Marine field SAIT carried out maintenance services for the largest Italian Ship-owners such as Società Italia di Navigazione, Società Adriatica di Navigazione, Tirrenia SpA, and Italcantieri shipbuilders.
