The company, like many other Italian ventures, began in the founder’s garage in the early 1920s.
The founder, Francesco Magnoni, aimed to produce a common item, the “economical kitchen”, in a different and even more cost-effective way.
Typically, these stoves were made from cast iron; to achieve his goal, he decided to use sheet metal.
This choice led to a specialisation in sheet metal use, which remains a core characteristic of the company to this day.
