Aerfer was an Italian manufacturing company created in 1955 by the merger of IMAM and Officine Ferroviarie Meridionali. The name is a contraction of Costruzioni Aeronautiche e Ferroviarie (Aeronautical and Railway Constructions).
In 1969 it merged with Salmoiraghi and the aviation division of Fiat to create Aeritalia.
The firm is remembered mostly in connection with the development of Italy's first supersonic jet, the Aerfer Sagittario 2.
