PFE: The story of a resilient Company
PFE has proven itself to be one of the most resilient companies in Italy, with continuous and uninterrupted growth in the “last” thirty years.
PFE is the story of a family-run business founded in 1988, that has demonstrated perseverance, passion, commitment and self-sacrifice.
Its founders promote projects aimed at innovation and training and have implemented business management plans supervised by a professional BoD and Management Team.
Today it is among the main players in the Facility Management Sector in Italy.
The stages of growth:
- In February 1988 Totò Navarra founded the first generation of the family-run business: La Puligienica.
- La Puligienica experienced immediate success and continuous growth with the support of the second generation which allowed the company to become increasingly dynamic and structured.
As PFE grew, it increased its presence in the public and private sectors, first becoming a S.r.l. and in 2009 a joint stock company: PFE S.p.A..
- The reorganization of the Management Team and the BoD with the presence of external members, combined with the implementation of the business plan, has given PFE constant and uninterrupted growth in turnover.
PFE is today one of the most important players in the industry nationally.
