Company presentation
1963
the first air conditioner for data processing centres
The Company was estabilished in 1963
with the aim of producing air conditioning
and refrigeration systems for critical
applications.
The experience of those first years in
its life profoundly influenced the company
philosophy, making flexibility and
speed of response to the market needs
the cards which are still winning today.
Freely taken from the article which appeared in “CDA-Condizionamento dell’Aria
Riscaldamento Refrigerazione” of November 1999.
Almost all the entrepreneurial realities, which we have had the opportunity
to become acquainted with on the occasion of our interviews, have in
common determination and initiative, qualities which put the Italian work
world in a positive light even though it is still so controversial and tormented.
Every company, however, has its own peculiarities that can be discovered
during interviews or felt in the air having just crossed the threshold.
In the case of RC Group the first sensation was one of serenity, or better, of
efficiency without agitation. Tranquil its location at the foot of the Pavese
hills, inviting its headquarters, serene the attitude of its office workers
and factory workers, neat and tidy its plant. The activity is intense but, as
we will see, governed by organization and common sense.
Roberto Caciolli, who gave us the interview, is one of the three owners, all
in the management of the company, together with his brother Fabrizio and
their friend Sergio Gallina.
History always helps us to understand the present and in the evolution of
your Group, I believe it is almost indispensable to know the beginnings.
The Company was established in 1963 with the aim of producing air conditioning
and refrigeration systems for critical applications. One of the first products was
an air conditioner for a data processing centre for San Paolo Bank of Torino
(probably one of the first air conditioner for data processing centres realized in
Italy).

This typology required a lot of know-how at all levels, from the knowledge
of the problem to solve to the ability to choose the most appropriate technological
applications.
Throughout the sixties the company grew slowly, without a real array of
products for mass-production, but producing on order what the market
required of the refrigeration and conditioning of the times, designing and
realizing personalized machines on the basis of the customer’s needs.
The experience of those first years in its life profoundly influenced the
company philosophy, making flexibility and speed of response to the market
needs the cards which are still winning today.
A first turn took place at the beginning of the seventies when we presented
a line of air conditioners especially dedicated to DPC and an agreement was
signed with a Multinational Leader in the computer field that wanted to
offer turnkey solutions to its clients.
Not only the computer part was offered, but also all the equipment for the
site and whatever was necessary for the correct functioning of the machines
contained in it.
