Our Story:

Elianto was founded in May 2007 as a Spin-Off company of CRS4 (Center for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia) and intends to seize the opportunity of supplying Solar Power to innovative industrial plants, which use the Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) technology.
Elianto dedicated the first development phase to the construction of a prototype of the Elianto CSP technology. The results obtained from the first plant confirmed the maturity of the technology and lead to the conclusion of an important partnership, signed in September 2010, by Elianto, Angelantoni Industrie Spa and ACK Ventures.
Angelantoni Industrie Spa operates in several industrial fields such as environmental test chambers, biomedical equipment and systems in Healthcare and Biotechnology, refrigeration systems for oil and gas, pharmaceutical and industrial processes, and renewable energies, particularly Concentrating Solar Power centralized in the production of a key element of the technology. The company consists of 8 production units located in Italy, Germany, France, India, and China, with a total of over 750 employees.
ACK Ventures is a venture capital that aims to support financially, operatively and strategically companies operating in the green sector, relying on their future economical and social potentials.
