Our story started in 1905, when our founders who worked in the historically important glass making tradition of Altare (SV) and Colle Val d’Elsa (SI), started working in Turin manufacturing lighting for the residential sector and industrial components (Isolators). The automotive sector in the seventies was in a boom period andVetrerie Riunite Group started producing glass for headlights. To manage the increasing demand for its productsVetrerie Riunite Group established its new factory and head office at Colognola ai Colli in the province of Verona. This was how Vetrerie Riunite spa was founded. During this time, production and development of door glasses for washing and dish washing machines was started and this became the principal business for the group.
In 1981 Vetrerie Riunite Group purchased Borromini srl a company with many years’ experience in the production and development of moulds for the automotive lighting sector. In the middle of the eighty’s Vetrerie Riunite Group created Novaref spa to develop glass rollers for the ceramics and construction business.
TheVetrerie Riunite Group has moved forward into the new millennium and continues its growth in both production, quality and exploiting new techniques. The latest investment for the group in 2017 was the building of a new oven Centauro, which will enable production levels to be increased by 25% to reach 300 tonnes of glass per day.
