Gemina was established in 1961, under the name of Compagnia Generale Alimentare S.r.l., as a holding company operating in the food sector. During the 1970's, the company took on its current name and started operating as an industrial holding company, and in 1981 was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. During the '80s, the company launched an investment program in the financial and merchant-banking sectors. In 1996, the company started progressively reducing its financial sector investments, which were no longer considered strategic, and redirected its energies, mainly focusing on the industrial sector. In March 1997, Gemina's partial division, with the establishment of the beneficiary HdP, started gaining effectiveness. Indeed, the shareholdings in the industrial companies present in Gemina's investment portfolio were transferred to HdP. Gemina then concluded the divestment of its financial assets, direct to acquire, by launching, in the second half of 1998, a new investment program:significant quotas of shareholdings in companies, operating in well-established businesses and capable of ensuring a suitable level of soundness to the company portfolio and in medium/small sized companies operating in the production of goods and services and with good development prospects. Starting from 2000 Gemina focuses its activities on directing and controlling its subsidiaries. In the same period Gemina takes part in the privatization of ADR (managing company of Roma’s airports) and develops its core business in the area of airports’ infrastructures. In the meantime Gemina divests its shareholdings in the other subsidiaries and today it holds the 95,76% of ADR shares’ capital that is the most important asset of Gemina’s group.
