Our History

In 1945 three cooperatives operating in the track equipment field were born in the area between Bologna and Reggio Emilia and in the mid-1970s they decided to join their forces. On the 1st January 1976 CLF, at that time called Cooperativa Lavori Ferroviaria was born and since then it was destined to become one of the main national player in the field of track equipment.

A story yet to be written

From 1976 to 1979, a massive investment program was developed that would place CLF among the top national companies in the sector.

Our commitment continues, our story continues to evolve:

1996

In 1996, CLF was awarded its first work abroad in Poland, tracing from that moment the route for what would have been the strong international commitment and the development strategy of CLF.

1999

In 1999, the Cooperativa Lavori Ferroviari was trasformed into Costruzioni Linee Ferroviarie SPA. The corporate structure is formed by Unieco and the Dutch company Strukton Rail.

2000

With the implementation of the High Speed project at the beginning of the 2000s, CLF SpA launches a new investment plan aimed at the acquisition of the most modern technologies needed for the realization of high speed lines, strengthening its position on the Italian market as a technologically cutting-edge company.

2010

In 2010, with the acquisition of Sifel SpA, a company specialized in railway installations, CLF confirms itself as a global company in the railway infrastructure, consolidating its presence in an increasingly significant way.
