The Bertolin brothers founded the company as a family business and originally called it Bertolin Constructions. Throughout those early years, the company operated solely as subcontractor to larger construction companies who commissioned them to conduct all types of building work. It was at this point that the identity of the company began to take shape: “High quality work delivered on time”.

In 1982, the company reached an important milestone: a contract was signed with Hidroeléctrica Española to undertake the repair of its facilities that were damaged during the Valencia floods. Thanks to this contract, the company quadrupled its workforce from 30 to 130 workers.

It was during the nineties that the company began to develop and consolidate its position and changed its original name to the Bertolin Group. From this point onwards, Bertolin began its transformation to a Contractor, a construction company working directly for developers.

In the mid-1990s, the company embarked on a strategy of generating added value by promoting its own carpentry and ironwork workshops, warehouses of construction materials, as well as its own machinery and transport vehicles. The aim was to control the development and management of the construction process from start to finish so reducing the degree of uncertainty and risk for the customer. This enabled the company to deliver on its commitments in terms of timescale, costs and quality while undertaking its projects with maximum guarantees.

All this was made possible thanks to the implementation of reinvestment policies.

The company decided that it was time to expand its geographical scope and set up in the Central Zone (Madrid and surrounding areas), the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, Aragon, Murcia and Andalusia.

In 2007, in response to solid, steady growth, the Bertolin Group moved its corporate headquarters to a building in the Valencia Technology Park, designed to meet the needs of the entire team and business areas.

As part of its policy of expansion and diversification, the company added the restoration, rehabilitation and maintenance of all types of infrastructure to its portfolio. In addition, the Bertolin Group acquired its first agglomerate plant and a large fleet of machinery with the latest technological advances allowing it to open a new line of complementary business, positioning itself as an industry benchmark in the integrated maintenance of infrastructures.

Meanwhile, given that the company trajectory had been characterized over many decades by direct proximity to the construction needs of its customers, an Integrated Project Management area was created, from where projects could be undertaken in an integrated way, that is, from their conception to their delivery. This allowed the company to tackle the generation of industrial, residential, and tertiary land from the outset, assuming the role of development agent and managing the urban planning procedures until the developed plots could be obtained. By coordinating the execution of building works with urban development works, the company could guarantee effective cost control, ensure deadlines were met and uncertainties in clients’ business plans reduced.

Increasingly mobile and constantly evolving societies need transport solutions that are at the cutting edge and increasingly innovative, sustainable and efficient with appropriate infrastructure. In response to society’s demand for improvements in processes, technological advances, and quality of service, and as part of its R&D and innovation programme, the company is immersed in the development of new materials and products, and in the design of more efficient and sustainable processes that provide added value to its activity.

The Bertolin Group also continues to work on operational and financial optimisation, identifying new areas of opportunity and implementing strategies and plans that place it in a solid, competitive position, capable of meeting current and future challenges and generating a positive impact on society.
