History
The parent company, Ansaldo, started in 1853. It was taken over by Finmeccanica in 1993. In 2011, Finmeccanica (since 2016 Leonardo-Finmeccanica) sold 45% stake in Ansaldo Energia to First Reserve Corporation. In 2013, the Fondo Strategico Italiano acquired a 85% share of the company. It then sold a 40% share to Shanghai Electric Corporation.[2]
