CardellinoPoma Corporate Advisors

Fractional technical and commercial leadership, market development, technology distribution

CardellinoPoma is the brand under which C+P Energy Solutions S.r.l. works for industrial companies. We provide fractional executives on ongoing mandates, open markets and sales channels, and distribute in Italy technologies we know inside out, starting with SolarCleano robots.

Industrial diagnosis, technical due diligence and corporate transactions are handled by Lydius Operations, the industrial advisory firm founded by the same partners.

How we work

The terms, before we start

We put them in writing in the proposal, so the owner knows from day one what they are buying and what it costs.

Clear fees up front

Monthly retainer or fixed price, set at the start. No hidden success fees, no projects that swell along the way, no surprise quotes.

Real presence on site

Agreed days at your premises, with responsibility for the indicators set together. Remote work is for analysis and documents; it does not replace the shop floor.

One person answers

Whoever signs the proposal is accountable for the work from start to finish. The professionals we involve work under our direction and responsibility.

Private companies only

We work with private companies and groups. We do not take part in public tenders and do not rely on institutional or political introductions.
