Costruzioni Navali is a company that builds boats exported throughout the world. A modern company that combines the advantages of a large industry without, however, to have lost the original inspiration of a family business. These are the main stages of its history:

1922, Pavia - Vincenzo Sarani, known in the city for the construction of numerous works on wrought iron, which still today embellish the historical buildings of the center, begins production of the boats in iron. In a few years, this will become the main work activity.

1948, Pavia - A slipway is built on Ticino river to launch the first ships designated to the river excavating activities.

1969, Travacò Siccomario (Pavia) - Open house of the first operational headquarters on the river Po, consisting of warehouses, offices and a slipway.
