Borgonovo

The Company was founded in 1950 by three partners. Francesco Piccioni,Icilio Cantoni and the Tuscan glass master Mario Marzini to produce glassware for domestic use. A wholly manual production was started in a plant of around 2000 square meters.

The Company grew quickly,enjoying good success in the market and soon came to employ some 700 workers.

Between the mid Fifties and Sixties and as a result of a large financial investment,the production system was transformed from manual to semi-automatic and later on to a complete fully automatic system.

The Company was by now producing a very large range of products for domestic use such as lasses, tumblers, jugs, beer mugs, storage jars etc.

In 1987 F.Piccioni acquired the share holding of his other partners and became sole proprietor.

During the Nineties the company embarked on a new phase of investment in the latest industrial equipment and acquired the company Decover. The surface of the plant thereby increased from 12,000 square meters to the current 52,000 square meters.

These developments together with the know-how of modern technologies enabled Vetreria di Borgonovo to grow rapidly and in a short period of some three years the production output was doubled.

The company is constantly in a process of updating all parts of production and the training of personnel.

Despite the large scale of production Borgonovo has always sought to maintain a high standard of quality in order to meet and satisfy the demands of it’s customers.
