Borgonovo Margarita Glass 270ml

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

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

Between the mid-fifties and 1960s, and because of a large financial investment, the production system was transformed from manual to semi-automatic and later to a completely automatic system.  

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

In 1987, F. Piccioni acquired the shareholding of his other partners and became sole proprietor.  

During the 1990s, the company embarked on a new phase of investment in the latest industrial equipment and acquired the company Decover. The plant's surface increased from 12,000 square metres to the current 52,000 square metres.  

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 updating all parts of production and training personnel. 

Despite the large scale of production Borgonovo has always sought to maintain a high standard of quality to meet and satisfy the demands of its customers.
