Ansaldo establishes its electro-technical plant in Genoa. This is the birth of today's Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali.

Ansaldo is a partially state-owned company.

Ansaldo launches a period of overseas expansion for the industrial division that includes the acquisition of Hill Graham Controls (UK), Ross Hill Controls (US) & Loire Automation.

Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali (ASI), the Industrial branch of Ansaldo, is privatised and begins collaboration with Robicon (USA) under the name ASIRobicon. Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali changes its name to ASIRobicon SpA.

ASI ends collaboration with Robicon and becomes “a Lynn Tilton Company”.
