Our story
Where innovation
lives
Our company was founded more than 60 years ago. Many things have changed since then, but thanks to our know-how, we’ve been able to achieve the highest standards of quality in our production and to deeply understand what families need today. We’re constantly looking for new materials, functions and technology, together with a modern and essential design.
