Our Story
GSC’s history starts in 1952 at the incorporation of the family business Gebr. Clementi SRL that is since then active in the cultivation and worldwide sale of fresh fruit, mainly apples. Connected to its family business, GSC has more than 70 years of experience in agriculture and therefore access to unparalleled sizes of land in Italy and abroad.
As the packaging and cooling of fruit is highly energy intensive, in 2008 GSC developed the first solar-PV plant on the rooftop of the production hall in Laives. Today, the group holds 7 solar-PV plants in its portfolio and operates completely net zero.
The synergy of agriculture and solar-PV led GSC to use its large network of landowners and cooperations in the sector to develop a pipeline of more than 400 MWp of Agri-PV plants in Italy. In 2023, GSC carved out the engineering division from a leading Italian construction company and now controls the full development cycle internally.
Due to its entrepreneurial family company background, GSC knows exactly what it takes to bring family businesses to the next level. Through partnering with family-operated mid-cap companies in Italy, GSC intends to help further family entrepreneurs to reach the next growth stage while maintaining the legacy of the company.
