Our history
Envisioning the future since 1906
We represent the latest chapter of a century-long story driven by a constant vision of the future.
Our name, Webuild, introduced in 2020, marks a new milestone for a Group that has become increasingly global while preserving strong Italian roots.
Our origins date back to 1906 in Italy, where entrepreneurial families united by shared values of excellence and professional integrity laid the foundations of what we are today. From the very beginning, we embraced an ambitious vision: to grow by delivering complex, long-lasting infrastructure capable of driving sustainable progress and supporting the development of generations to come.
In the early years, we contributed to building the infrastructure that powered Italy’s growth.
The power of work: our unsung heroes
An invisible thread, over a century long, connects the hands of the men and women who braved mountains to build Italy’s first great dams to the workers, technicians, and engineers now working on the high-speed railway lines connecting the country.
These are the "Heroes of Construction"—people whose commitment and dedication have left an indelible mark on history and the future.

Webuild: over 120 years of infrastructure and Italian engineering worldwide
Our history began in 1906 with the founding of Girola and Lodigiani in Italy. Thirty years later, together with the Salini family, these companies played a key role in the development of the country’s infrastructure.
The integration of their expertise led to the creation of one of the world’s leading infrastructure groups, culminating in 2014 with the establishment of Salini Impregilo.
In 2011, Salini Costruttori initiated the acquisition of ordinary shares in Impregilo. In 2012, following one of Europe’s most significant financial takeovers—supported by both institutional and individual investors—Salini secured control of the Board of Directors, appointing 14 out of 15 members. A voluntary public tender offer, completed in April 2013, finalized the acquisition, leading to the formation of Salini Impregilo in 2014.
The Group’s global expansion continued with the acquisition of Lane Construction, strengthening its presence in the United States.
In 2019, through Progetto Italia, the Group launched a strategic acquisition-consolidation plan for the Italian construction sector, integrating companies such as Astaldi, Cossi, Todini and Seli, and creating a stronger, more competitive industrial platform.
In 2023, the acquisition of Clough in Australia further enhanced the Group’s scale, expertise and technological capabilities.
Today, Webuild stands among the world’s leading infrastructure groups, driving development and innovation through collaboration with a global ecosystem of partners and suppliers, representing excellence at both national and international levels.
