HISTORY

1901 - 1932 THE START OF AN INDUSTRIAL ENTERPRISE

TINPLATED CUTLERY

On 1st August, 1901 Carlo Lagostina and his son Emilio took over a factory that produced tinplated cutlery. After his father's untimely demise, young Emilio found himself at the helm of the new enterprise at just 24 years old. He led the company's growth with creativity, courage and an innate forward-looking attitude. Even throughout the war, the company continued to grow. With the war over, the inevitable economic crisis brought the first industrial unrest in Italy. In addition to being an experienced engineer, Emilio Lagostina proved to be especially receptive to his workers' conditions.
