50 Years of Elettra
1976—2026
Fifty years, in three minutes
From its beginnings to the Elettra of today: people, transformations and relationships as told through our archive.
ENERGY THAT FLOWS THROUGH TIME
50 years tell us much more than just a number.
Since 1976, Elettra has been growing within the electrical engineering sector through its expertise, networks and solutions for power distribution, industrial automation, photovoltaics and pre-wired switchboards.
A story that began in Padova, has developed over time and is still unfolding.

The Origins
Elettra is born in Padova.
Engineer Gastone Bellini combines technical expertise with an entrepreneurial spirit, giving rise to a company built on an in-depth understanding of the electrical sector, high-quality service and direct relationships with professionals.
1984
Growing up, building trust
Elettra is strengthening its position in the energy distribution and industrial automation sectors.
Over the years, the relationship with AEG has also grown stronger, culminating in Elettra being recognised as an Authorised Partner for low-voltage equipment in Italy. This partnership has become an important part of Elettra’s industrial and commercial history.
1987
Pass the torch
With the arrival of the second generation of the Bellini family, Elettra is entering a new phase of development.
The product range and expertise are expanding, and digital tools are gradually being introduced to improve logistics, processes and order management.

New spaces to keep growing
Elettra is moving to Via 7ª Strada. As the company grows, it needs more functional premises that are better suited to an increasingly structured organisation.

New skills, new organisation

Meanwhile, the technical aspect also developed, with Fabio Carraro among those driving this evolution.

Long live Elettra!!!
The story of the first 50 has been written; now it’s up to me and my colleagues to write the story of the next 50, with the team spirit that sets us apart!
