Ghella
This year marks the 130th anniversary for Ghella, founded in 1894: a global reality of primary importance in the construction of large public projects. Specialized in underground excavation, spanning 5 generations, Ghella has successfully constructed over 190 tunnels and connected more than 1,000 kilometers of subways, railways, highways, and hydraulic projects. Ghella's commitment centers around a business model focused on leaving a better world for future generations.
