Falck is an Italian company, among the oldest ones in the steel industry that, since the nineties, turned to the production of energy from renewable sources.
It was founded in 1906 with the name Società anonima Acciaierie e Ferriere Lombarde in Milan by Giorgio Enrico Falck. The first and most important factories were built in Sesto San Giovanni. In 1931 the company changed its name in Acciaiere e Ferriere Lombarde Falck. The company produced steels and related processed and semi-finished products for over seventy years, until the crisis in the mid-seventies, when the decline of the company began. The last furnaces were dismissed in 1995.
In the end of the nineties, the Falck Group turned, always guided by Falck family, to the production of renewable energy, through the controlled Falck Renewables.
