Who we are

Carnia Industrial Park was established in 1964. Its original name was Consortium for Industrial Development of the Middle Tagliamento; it aimed to promote the socio-economic development of the Northern part of Friuli, and in particular the three industrial zones of Tolmezzo, Amaro and Villa Santina. In 1999 the Consortium became a Public Economic Entity and assumed the name of Consortium for the Industrial Development of Tolmezzo. Since then it has been playing the role of a programmer and land use planner, parcelling off and urbanizing building areas available to the productive sector, providing the most innovative technological and IT systems and constructing not only industrial buildings but also renewable energy power plants. From 2016, thanks to the industrial policy reform put in place by the Regional Law n. 3/2015 "RilancimpresaFVG", the new Consortium for Tolmezzo’s Local Economic Development "Carnia Industrial Park", has been acting as a local development agency, within a regional industrial policy framework geared to the enhancement of the manufacturing vocation of the whole of Carnia mountain district.

Carnia Industrial Park is located in the historic Villa built after WWI by the solicitor Emilio Recla. In the 50’s and 60’s the building was home to the Command of the Fire Brigade but was then abandoned following the serious damage caused by an earthquake in 1976. The Consortium acquired the property in 2002 and launched a series of renovation works which preserved the original aesthetic ornaments and silhouette of the Villa. The building currently hosts a number of offices used by the staff of Carnia Industrial Park; it also boasts a conference room, with a max. capacity of 60 people, equipped with state-of-the-art technological equipment and available for hire for events, meetings and seminars.
