Our Story

The First in Asset Intelligence

Our Story :

The name Antea means “something that came first, prior to the others.” For over 30 years, that is what we have done: pioneer at the forefront of digital innovation for asset integrity management.

It began in 1989, in Italy, when two chemical engineers developed a software tool to solve the paper-based data management problems faced by operating companies that had or needed mechanical integrity programs.

That continued dedication to developing innovative technology evolved and 7 years later, Antea was the first ever to introduce 3D modelling for non-destructive testing (NDT).

Our presence expanded in Europe, then into Asia, Algeria and now with new offices in Canada and the USA.

Today, our highly flexible RBI-driven inspection data management software with digital twin integration protects the investments of customers in oil and gas, chemical, and power plants around the world — and we have never lost a client.

Our History

1989

Becoming Antea

Young engineers Fernando Verzotto and Domenico Salvà saw the importance of emerging technology early on. After creating their first serious program, Cad-Ser, a program that would document the thickness measured on static pressure equipment, they soon caught the attention of Exxon. Shortly after, the two formed their own company and in 1989, Antea was born.

The First Install

The 1990s held the beginning of Antea’s long success. With Exxon on their side, Antea was quickly able to gain more traction, leading them to create more industry-leading software and continue to build towards the global brand it is today.
