The History of Riber Italia
Years of Experience in the Sector
Founded in 1996 by Riccardo Berretti, after significant experience gained in the ABB Group, RIBER has built a solid reputation in the energy sector over time, standing out for its professionalism, reliability and technical competence.
The BBC Consortium was born in 1998, founded together with the ABB Agency of Liguria - Ugo Bianchi & C. s.a.s., with headquarters in Lodi. For over a decade, first with RIBER and then the BBC Consortium, they maintained an exclusive collaboration with ABB, consolidating management relationships with customers and entering into representation agreements with important foreign manufacturing companies interested in the Italian energy market.
In 2001 RIBER, under concession from the ABB group, signed an exclusive contract with the 3rd largest cable manufacturer in Europe - Tele-Fonika Kable SA “TFK”.
The collaboration with the Polish group continues to this day and the cable sector is one of our main core businesses society.
In 2001 RIBER, under concession from the ABB group, signed an exclusive contract with the first manufacturer of HV cable accessories globally. The choice was made by having TFK as a partner on the market, in the high voltage cable accessories sector, the German Pfisterer group, with factories in CH.
In 2010 RIBER, after a brief experience with a competing company, signed an exclusive contract with the first manufacturer of busbar trunking with RIP technology globally. The company, with headquarters and production in the municipality of Basel (CH), enters the Italian market with a high-tech product and establishes itself on the market.
In 2016, RIBER acted as a consultant to the Lebanese company MATELEC Sal and participated in a tender called by the Spanish company ENDESA (which had just joined the ENEL Group) and was awarded a contract worth several million euros. RIBER subsequently signed an exclusive contract on the market, with the leading manufacturer in the Middle Eastern area, of electrical transformers for MV/LV distribution and HV/MV power, insulated in oil.
In 2017, RIBER, following the recommendation of an important multinational group of our clients, was presented to the company ADITYA BIRLA Insulator Ltd and signed an exclusive contract with the company, the 2nd largest Indian group in terms of turnover, as well as the Asian company that holds the export record in the United States of America. A product, porcelain insulators, requested by my customers, due to a lack of supply/producers in Europe. Today we boast a qualification in the TERNA Group and ENEL and serve the main manufacturers of electrical equipment and in particular of HV disconnectors.
In 2019 RIBER, following a recommendation from its representative MGC, came into contact with the Indian YASH group and signed an exclusivity contract with the company, producer of Bushing OIP for power transformers. The product mainly finds its application on the customer base producing Power Transformers, with a qualified and certified product. The group is studying solutions with RIP and RIS dry technology.
In 2023 RIBER, with the authorization of the TERNA Rete Italia Spa group, signed an exclusive contract with the company BRUGG Cables AG, a leader in the construction of high voltage cable accessories, certified by TERNA. Closes relations with the Pfisterer AG group.
In the 1th April 2025 marks a new stage in the company's history: the transformation of Riccardo Berretti's individual company RIBER into RIBER Italia Srl, a NewCo, now equipped with its own commercial structure, capable of facing the challenges of the future, maintaining the continuity of values, identity and recognition acquired over the years.
