Founded in 1932 in Milan, Atisa Aero-Termica Italiana SpA, besides being recognized as one of the most important Italian companies for the design, supply of machinery and installation of HVAC systems on the latest generation cruise ships for the most prestigious international shipping companies as well as on Italian and foreign navy ships, designs, manufactures and supplies components for air conditioning and heating for prestigious civil sector clients; ATISA equipment is in fact also installed in offices, industries, hotels, schools, hospitals and prestigious residential and commercial complexes.
The name Atisa is inextricably linked to the constant looking for innovative and flexible modular solutions. The company has consolidated engineering, research and testing know-how, as well as a valid after-sales service; strategic elements that have allowed to consolidate its brand over time.
The Company’s headquarters are in Bareggio, on the outskirts of Milan, where the management, administrative offices, workshop and technical offices for the production of components are located.
The offices for the management, design, commissioning and start-up of the H.V.A.C. plants installed on board ships are located in Genoa, nearby the seaport area.
The shipyards are located in many production sites of Fincantieri such as Monfalcone, Ancona, Palermo, Castellammare di Stabia, Muggiano, Riva Trigoso and at the Mariotti Shipyard in Genoa.

ORIGINS
Atisa was founded in 1932 as an artisan company for the production of components for heating. In the 50s it entered the sector of design and supply of air conditioning systems in civil and industrial settings.
1960
NAVAL AIR CONDITIONING
In the 1960s, the company entered the air conditioning market on board ships by installing its systems on the most prestigious ocean liners of that time: such as T / N Michelangelo and M / N Cristoforo Colombo.
1970
ATISA’S STATEMENT IN THE AIR CONDITIONING SECTOR
In the 70s, Atisa took on an important role in the air conditioning plant engineering sector, competing with companies of the caliber of Aermarelli and Aster.
1990-2008
TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION: THE FIRST FAN COIL MOUNTED ON BOARD
In the 1990s, Atisa designs and supplies the first fan coil system for the passenger and crew cabins of the modern cruise ship “Costa Victoria”. The important technological innovation not only allows passengers to individually regulate the temperature, but also allows to record a significant energy and weight saving of the system. The solution was immediately adopted by Disney Cruise on its first Wonder and Magic cruise ships. Today, thanks to its characteristics, this system is almost installed on all cruise ships built in the most important European shipyards.
2008-2017
THE PSC S.P.A. INCORPORATION AND FINCANTIERI’S ROLE
The economic crisis in 2008 and the investments’ stagnation in the naval sector also affected Atisa, which suffered a slowdown in its growth path. In 2017, PSC S.p.A., in the context of its development and diversification strategy, identifies Atisa S.p.A. as a technological target useful to strengthen its presence in the naval sector: the integration between a well-established operating structure for the assembly of air conditioning systems and firefighting systems on board the ship and an undisputed leadership in the design, supply and supervision of the assembly of air conditioning systems, are the premises inducing PSC to create a technological center for satisfying the growing needs of various customers in the naval sector, first of all Fincantieri, which enters the capital of the group leader.
