Engineered Rigging Partners with Officine CLP to Bring Italian Ingenuity to the Americas
VALPARAISO, IND., July 28, 2026 — Engineered Rigging has built its business one relationship at a time: a family company whose people are as invested in each project’s outcome as the client. Officine CLP was built the same way, growing since 1973 from a small group of Italian partners with a passion for mechanics into one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of hydraulic gantries, beam lifts, jacking towers and customized lifting and moving systems. Today leaders from the two companies announced a partnership to bring CLP’s innovations to North and South America.
“From our meetings at Bauma to our ongoing technical discussions, the alignment between our companies was immediately clear,” said Christopher Cox, P.E., founder and president of Engineered Rigging (shown with CLP CEO Luca Giordano at CLP’s headquarters). “Officine CLP operates with a buzzing energy of collaboration and a deep pride that extends from their engineering offices straight to the shop floor. Though our operations are an ocean apart, our companies share a passion for innovation and a heartfelt commitment to our people and our customers. It’s with great confidence and mutual appreciation that Engineered Rigging and CLP announce this partnership.”
For more than 50 years, CLP’s solutions have been a staple at construction sites and industrial facilities across Europe, expanding steadily into global markets. Now, Engineered Rigging breaks new ground with full access to sell and distribute CLP’s heavy-lift equipment throughout the Americas. Known for their exceptional reliability, rugged durability and fully controlled machinery with self-contained hydraulics, these innovations will now be directly available to industrial clients across the region.
“CLP engineers solutions that redefine efficiency and safety in complex industrial environments, and in Engineered Rigging we found the ideal partner,” said Luca Giordano, CEO of Officine CLP. “Their technical precision, engineering expertise and customer-first philosophy make Engineered Rigging uniquely qualified to bring our advanced gantry and lifting systems to these expanding markets.”
The partnership comes at a pivotal time. The U.S. is in the middle of an unprecedented industrial construction boom, with data center construction spending climbing 27% year-over-year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. When combined with continued investment in manufacturing and warehouse facilities, the demand for heavy lifting equipment, both for construction and ongoing plant operations, has never been higher. By diversifying its manufacturer partnerships, Engineered Rigging is better positioned to deliver purpose-built equipment to clients exactly when they need it.
CLP joins an esteemed collection of brands in Engineered Rigging’s heavy lifting and machinery moving fleet including Enerpac, Fassi, Foxtrot, Hilman, Holmatro, Hydraulic Technologies, Jekko and Goldhofer.
