History

Since 1994, we have been using energy, boldness and conviction to improve mobility for all

Citec derives from the contraction of the slogan “the technicians of the city”. This desire to act on the city and work on its embellishment is at the origin of the engineering firm. Today this inspiration has managed to bring together about a hundred employees.

    Creation of Citec in Geneva

    It was in March 1992 that Franco Tufo began his activity as a transport engineer specializing in urban planning. After graduating with Professor Philippe Bovy, he became one of his scientific collaborators at the Institute of Transport. Its mission since then was to place professionals in the context of a Post Master's training in Urban Planning. Strengthened by these experiences and after several interdisciplinary collaborations, he created Citec Ingénieurs Conseils SA in 1994 in Geneva. The quality of the services provided has quickly attracted both customers, who have entrusted their most varied problems, and talents, who in a few years will go from one to almost 100!
