S.E.S.A.
Italian company providing it solutions to corporations throughout the world
About S.E.S.A.
In 1973, in Empoli, Italy, Paolo Castellacci founded S.E.S.A. as a service and data processing company for local businesses in Tuscany. The initial idea was to support the IT service needs of the surrounding production districts. During the 1980s, the company adapted to technological evolution by expanding into the supply of IBM infrastructure and software. This set the stage for a major pivot. In 1994, S.E.S.A. entered the value-added distribution of IT solutions, a move that would define its future growth. The next chapter began in 2008 when Alessandro Fabbroni joined, eventually becoming CEO in 2012. His leadership guided a significant reorganization and the company's public debut. In 2013, S.E.S.A. went public, listing on the stock market, which provided the capital for further expansion. The company's growth strategy heavily relied on acquisitions, consistently adding new capabilities. Key expansions included establishing the software and system integration arm, Var Group, in 2009 and the Business Services sector in 2020 to focus on the financial services industry. Today, S.E.S.A. is a leading player in Italy's technology and digital services sector, offering everything from cloud solutions and cybersecurity to proprietary software for diverse business needs.
