The brothers Giovanni, born in 1941, and Iginio, born in 1942, were still just boys when, in 1966, together with another two partners, Angelo and Bruno, with 2,000,000 Italian lira in their pockets, they decided to found the furniture production company, Mobilificio Maronese, in via Taglio in Maron di Brugnera (Italy).
The first furniture prototypes were produced inside an old building owned by one of the partners. A few employees were also taken on and Maronese started to make a name for itself. In 1967, the fi rst living room models were presented at the Italian furniture trade show “Salone del Mobile” in Milan. And this was just the start of a long success story, which continues today.
Today Maronese, parent company of the ATMA Group (founded in 1984), now covers an area of 48,000 sq.m.
