Grocon Pty Ltd, or more commonly Grocon, is Australia's largest privately owned development, construction and funds management company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About )〕 With its head office located in Melbourne, Victoria, the company also has offices in Sydney, Brisbane and New York City. Over the past twenty years, Grocon has delivered four of Australia's five tallest buildings. Three generations of the Grollo family have been involved in managing the company. Grocon has an extensive history of industrial disputes in Australia, particularly with the CFMEU including on-going litigation. ==History== Grocon grew from a small family concreting business established in Victoria, by Luigi Grollo after he emigrated from Treviso in Italy in 1938. A one-man operation, Luigi Grollo set up his own business in 1948 and completed small concreting projects, such as paving, shopping centre car parks, sewerage infrastructure and swimming pools.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=THE BUSINESS OF THE FAMILY: ITALIAN-AUSTRALIAN ENTREPRENEURS IN VICTORIA AND THEIR MODERN DYNASTIES )〕 His sons Rino and Bruno Grollo joined the business at the age of 15. The business expanded rapidly in the 1950s by continuing with concreting of municipal swimming pools and petrol stations in Melbourne. In the years following, the Grollo Group would transition from the building of local community assets throughout the 1960s to constructing landmark developments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Equiset - Construction In Focus Magazine )〕 In the 1970s, Grocon moved into concrete construction, such as shopping centres and high-rise buildings and started developing the projects themselves. It was also during the 1970s that Luigi Grollo handed the company over to his two sons and the business continued to rapidly expand.〔 In 1975, Grocon moved to Darwin for 18 months after winning a large contract for rebuilding after Cyclone Tracy. This contract involved the construction of 400 houses for the government. Following this, the Grollo Group went on to develop buildings and operate businesses in a wide cross-section of industries, including commercial, residential, industrial, education, retail, sporting and tourism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thinking Smarter )〕 In the 1980s, many developments owned by the Grollo family were sold.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Tall Story )〕 This included the selling of such assets as The Hyatt, Shell Corner, 200 Queen Street and a suite of shopping centres. At this stage, the Grollo family only retained one major development – the Rialto Towers.〔 In 2000, the construction business was split between a construction-centric business owned by Bruno and Daniel Grollo and a property development operation owned by Rino Grollo. As part of this shift, Rino Grollo secured Equiset and the Grollo Group (including its family properties). In 1999, Bruno’s oldest son, Daniel, assumed control of Grocon as chief executive officer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Grocon’s Grollo family succession plan ensures a smooth transition )〕 Daniel Grollo has since been appointed chairman of the Green Building Council of Australia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daniel Grollo, Chair )〕 and the Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council )〕 In March 2012 the construction business was split again into a construction business, owned by Daniel Grollo, which is the current Grocon, and a property development business owned by his older siblings Adam and Leeanna. Grocon now has operations in Australia, Asia, the Middle East and North America. In 2014, Grocon achieved another milestone, being named as the “preferred developer” for the 2018 Commonwealth Games Village on the Gold Coast, Queensland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Soul tower developer Grocon has been selected to build the 2018 Commonwealth Games Village on the Gold Coast )〕 On 24 February 2014, Deputy Chief Executive Officer Carolyn Viney succeeded Daniel Grollo as Chief Executive Officer of Grocon. Daniel assumed the role of Executive Chairman whilst retaining full oversight and ownership of the business.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Daniel Grollo appoints his deputy Carolyn Viney as new CEO of Grocon - Grocon )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grocon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
