One goal: to accelerate the development of electric mobility in Italy and abroad

Padua, Jan. 14, 2021 – It is a path of excellence that leads to the birth of Silla Industries, a young Italian company founded by Alberto Stecca and Cristiano Griletti. Based in Padua and with a team of 10 professionals, the new start-up has a primary goal: to contribute to the development of an increasingly clean, efficient and aware world, thanks to innovative technological solutions for e-mobility and energy management both for the consumer market with Silla-branded products and by developing custom products for large groups, both Italian and international.

The first and most famous of these solutions is Prism Solar, a unique product that was a finalist in the 2019 Hackaday Prize. It is a true control and management hub between the user and his electric car on the one hand, and between available energy sources on the other. Developed with the support of Parma-based Energetica Group, which entered as an equity partner in the project, Prism Solar has been appreciated and has spread in the market for its uniqueness as “the charging station that wasn’t there.”

“My great passion for cars, a family passion and profession, together with the knowledge that the future is electric, led me to believe strongly in this project,” says Alberto Stecca, CEO of Silla Industries. “The meeting with Cristiano was instrumental in foreshadowing the path we are officially taking today. Silla Industries is already at work on important new e-mobility innovation projects, which will see the light of day in the coming months, flanking Prism Solar in this presidium of a market that in Italy, but also in much of the world, has just begun to consolidate.”

“We were actually among the first in Italy and Europe to discover the potential of electric mobility and to promote it,” says Cristiano Griletti, head of R&D at Silla Industries. “My desire is to put my technical and electronic knowledge, at the service of innovation and progress, to make it accessible to a wider and wider number of people. If we think about the data just published, which saw 53 percent of Norwegians in 2020 choose an electric vehicle as their new car, I can only be increasingly confident about the rightness of Silla’s path.”

Even though we are talking about a brand new company, Silla Industries has already won the proclaim launched by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission for Smart Living for an international co-development and experimentation project in which is going to provide its own know-how, in addition to charging stations, to laboratories in Ispra (VA) and Petten in the Netherlands in the months to come.
