Our history

Over 40 years of our company’s history, we at Fornovo Gas have progressively and constantly extended the frontiers of our business.

In 1969, the year the company was founded, we started to manage service stations for the provision of natural gas for automotive purposes, and later extended our activities to the distribution of natural gas (both for use in auto-traction and for civil use) via gas tanks and cylinder trailers.

Subsequently, up until 2002, we managed the maintenance, production, packaging and finally also the installation and activation at sales outlets of natural gas compression plants for automotive purposes on behalf of a leading Italian manufacturer.

In 2003, the know-how we had accrued over previous years resulted in our taking a fundamental decision: to produce our own line of compressors and equipment for natural gas.

This was a truly innovative project which, by introducing avant-garde construction criteria and technology, considerable raised the operating performance of the plants and improved the lifespan of the individual components.

The first plant fitted out with equipment designed and produced entirely by Fornovo Gas was activated in 2005. At present, just 5 years later, we have already installed more than 500 of these worldwide.
