Alessi S.p.A
Alessi Founded in Omegna, Piedmont, in 1921 by Giovanni Alessi, following the local tradition of cold metalworking, the company has developed a policy of excellence that has made it a leading exponent of Italian Design Factories. Over the years, Alessi has collaborated with over three hundred world-renowned designers and architects, producing thousands of objects, many of which have become icons of contemporary design. Being an emblem of ideational and industrial excellence Alessi has managed to combine the typical industrial needs of the sector with its soul as a "research laboratory on Applied Arts", open to the development of new creative and cultural horizons. Since 2020, it has become a Benefit Corporation, identifying itself among companies that, in addition to profit, pursue one or more statutory purposes of common good, in a responsible, sustainable, and transparent manner. With this transformation, Alessi has completed a development process that has earned it B Corporation certification since 2017, becoming the first design factory in Italy to achieve this recognition.
