The origins of the development of a successful company is the work and commitment of three generations of the Cattaneo’s family, first of all Luigi Cattaneo, who founded the company that bore his name in 1947. In the 50's the company moved to a more central area of Cantù, the seat of an old family weaving and the first employees are hired.
