Who is Bruno Grollo?

Bruno Grollo is an Australian businessman.

Grollo headed Australia's largest construction company, Grocon, whose credits include the construction of the tallest buildings in Melbourne, Rialto Towers and Eureka Tower. In 1999, Grollo's sons Adam and Daniel were instated as joint managing directors. Today, Grocon employs a fluctuating workforce of 300 to 1200.

Grollo proposed building the tallest building in the world, the Grollo Tower, but construction never commenced.

In 2006, Grollo was listed in Forbes top 40 richest people in Australia and New Zealand.

In late December 1994, Grollo's father Luigi Grollo—the patriarch and founder of the Grocon Construction Company—had died and left him and his brother, Rino Grollo, the two controlling heirs to his empire. Since then, the Grollo brothers have accomplished truly monumental achievements; such as the construction of Melbourne's tallest buildings including the Eureka Tower completed in 2006. Grollo's father, Luigi, was an Italian immigrant who was faced with poverty when he first settled in Australia. The Italian immigrant started a concrete company that is known today as Grocon Construction.
