Zucchetti.Kos: Innovation and Italian Style in the Bathroom
Zucchetti's history begins in 1929 thanks to a foundry born in Valduggia (Vercelli, Italy), today it is recognized as a spokesman of "Made in Italy" thanks to its experience in its creation of innovative and top quality products.
Richard McClintock, a Latin scholar from Hampden-Sydney College, is credited with discovering the source behind the ubiquitous filler text. In seeing a sample of lorem ipsum, his interest was piqued by consectetur—a genuine, albeit rare, Latin word. Consulting a Latin dictionary led McClintock to a passage from De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (“On the Extremes of Good and Evil”), a first-century B.C. text from the Roman philosopher Cicero.
History and Global Expansion of Zucchetti
His mastery can be found in his business growth and his desire to expand, starting from Gozzano, to the opening of the export office, which was created to meet the need to encourage export to non-European countries such as Canada and Australia and the opening of the branch in America.
Zucchetti's Innovation and Quality
Innovation, design and quality have always been fundamental pillars of Zucchetti, which thanks to its know-how has always succeeded in creating high quality faucets, washbasins, bathroom accessories and bathtubs and showers; their innovation that turned out to be fundamental for their growth, was the implementation of chrome sanitary faucets.
