Toto Holding S.p.A.

Toto Holding S.p.A. is an Italian joint-stock holding company that heads the Toto Group (Gruppo Toto), a diversified industrial organisation with its main office in Chieti, Italy. The holding company was established in 2011 to exercise direction and coordination over a set of operating companies whose roots go back to the Toto family's construction business, active since the 1950s and formally organised as Toto Costruzioni Generali in the 1960s. Today the group is present in motorway concessions, road and rail construction, renewable energy and engineering design. The group's original nucleus is Toto Costruzioni Generali, founded in the 1960s on the initiative of the brothers Ignazio, Antonio and Carlo Toto. It has become one of Italy's more reliable general contractors for large, complex road and rail infrastructure, working both in Italy and abroad. A turning point came in 1995 with the creation of the airline AirOne, which broke the national monopoly on scheduled flights and grew from a regional carrier into a major national competitor. The group later extended into motorway concessions through participation in and eventual control of Strada dei Parchi S.p.A., the concessionaire of the A24 (Roma–L'Aquila–Teramo) and A25 (Torano–Avezzano–Pescara) motorways. From 2009 it entered renewable energy, first through an internal business unit and later through Renexia S.p.A., which develops and manages renewable plants in Europe and the United States via a controlled subsidiary. Engineering services are handled by InfraEngineering, created in 2011 as a spin-off of the design division of Toto Costruzioni Generali, while mobility services are provided by Parchi Global Services. Toto Holding describes itself as dynamic and modern, drawing strength from long experience: more than sixty years separate its first road projects from today's latest-generation renewable energy plants, yet rigour and passion have remained unchanged. The group presents itself as a pioneer that bets on innovation while keeping an Italian heart and drawing on the best global expertise. Its flagship projects include Med Wind, conceived by Renexia and located in the Strait of Sicily, described as the first floating-technology offshore wind farm in the Mediterranean, and the Taranto offshore wind farm, the first wind farm in the Mediterranean Sea, with ten turbines and around 30 MW of capacity. The group also works on rail projects such as the Cefalù–Castelbuono doubling. As a holding company, Toto Holding S.p.A. exercises direction, coordination and control in a sound and transparent manner, adopting an Organisation, Management, Control and Anti-Corruption Model in line with Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 on corporate administrative liability and Law 190/2012 on preventing and repressing corruption and illegality in public administration. The company is a privately held joint-stock company associated with the Toto family and is not listed on a stock exchange.

The history of Toto Holding is the history of the Toto family's industrial group, which began in the construction sector. Toto Costruzioni Generali was founded in the 1960s on the initiative of the brothers Ignazio, Antonio and Carlo Toto, although the family's construction activity dates back to the 1950s. The company became the original nucleus of the group and established itself as one of the more reliable general contractors in Italy and abroad for large, complex road and rail infrastructure. A decisive turning point came in 1995 with the creation of the airline AirOne. The carrier broke the national monopoly on scheduled flights and evolved from a regional airline into a major national competitor. This move marked the beginning of a new chapter for the group and demonstrated its willingness to enter new sectors. In the 2000s the group expanded into motorway concessions. It acquired a participation in Strada dei Parchi S.p.A. starting in 2001 and later gained control of the company, which holds the concession for the A24 (Roma–L'Aquila–Teramo) and A25 (Torano–Avezzano–Pescara) motorways. These routes cross five natural oases and are described by the group as its green heart. From 2009 the group entered renewable energy, initially operating through its own business unit and subsequently through Renexia S.p.A., a joint-stock company dedicated to the development, design, construction and management of renewable energy plants. Renexia operates in Europe and the United States through a controlled subsidiary and has developed onshore and offshore wind and photovoltaic projects. Among its flagship initiatives are the Taranto offshore wind farm, the first wind farm in the Mediterranean Sea, with ten turbines and around 30 MW of capacity, and Med Wind, conceived by Renexia and located in the Strait of Sicily, described as the first floating-technology offshore wind farm in the Mediterranean. In 2011 Toto Holding S.p.A. was established as the holding company for the entrepreneurial activities attributable to the Toto family, exercising direction and coordination over the operating companies. In the same year InfraEngineering was created as a spin-off of the design division of Toto Costruzioni Generali, consolidating the group's engineering capabilities. The group also extended into mobility services through Parchi Global Services. Over the years the Toto Group has maintained an organisational structure based on specialised operating companies, with Toto Holding providing direction, coordination and control. The holding adopts an Organisation, Management, Control and Anti-Corruption Model in compliance with Italian Legislative Decree 231/2001 and Law 190/2012, reflecting its commitment to sound and transparent governance. The group continues to pursue sustainable development of modern societies through energy, movement, dynamism, innovation and determination.
