It all began in 1999, when a fire broke out in the warehouse and adjacent factory of the Massagno offices. Nothing remained: laboratories, raw materials… everything had to be rebuilt.
The event gives new momentum to investments: Arturo Licenziati decided to relocate to Collina d’Oro, where he purchased a first building to restart production as soon as possible, followed by a second building, and two more in Lamone and Manno.
This marked the beginning of an extraordinary industrial development programme.
