Alfredo Zucchetti founded a modest foundry in Valduggia (in the province of Vercelli) in 1929, and today, Elena and Carlo, together with their cousins Marco and Paolo Zucchetti, are carrying on Alfredo's legacy.
The company is made up of 2 factories that together occupy 35,000 square meters, employ 200 workers, and produce 600.000 items annually.
Innovation, design, and quality have always been the core principles of Zucchetti and have served as the company's compass throughout its existence. The plant first produced industrial valves and fittings, but in 1950 it switched to making chrome sanitary taps. Early in the 1950s, the company hired Alfredo's son Mario, an astute businessman who would later run it for close to fifty years. Mario guided the business toward technological and commercial advancement as well as significant production development. He built a sizable new headquarters in Gozzano (in the province of Novara) and outfitted it with cutting-edge manufacturing facilities. Mario then displayed the brand at the Milan trade show and then at each of the other major international trade shows one after the other. Mario also established the first Zucchetti export office in an effort to take over markets in other countries.
Kos started up as a maker of multi-purpose shower cabins and whirlpool bathtubs in 1998. In addition to its sector-proven technical expertise, Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, art directors and designers for the whole production line, joined it in 2001 with their creative expertise and business acumen. This significant collaboration soon gave rise to a singular, unheard-of collection of domestic micro-architecture, including bathtubs, multipurpose shower stalls, shower trays, and washbasins with sculptural aesthetics and cutting-edge ergonomics that may completely transform the look and functionality of the bathroom.
Kos joined the Zucchetti Group in 2007.
The final result is a whole new, ground-breaking bathroom universe. a fresh iconography that denotes lyrical urban influences, sensitivity to various tastes, and seductive cultural melting pots.
