Steel Wool

Fascinated by an article read in the newspaper Corriere della Sera about production machines for steel wool, Luigi started looking for a technical solution for the production of scouring pads for domestic use, a product widely used in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

In Italy there was no suitable machinery for the job, and the German machines were very costly, but the two brothers managed to find a unit at an acceptable price, to which Fulvio made the necessary modifications and improvements to ease the production process. The rolls of steel wool that were produced took the name of "pagliette" (scouring pads), whose abrasive function was considered very useful for cleaning specific surfaces.

And so, clever intuition combined with talent led to the birth of a new line of products, developed in steel wool rolls with 3 varieties of grain, called “Nazionale”, “Americana” and “Mobilieri”, and in two products for cleaning pots: rolls and soap-filled scouring pads.
