Fulgor-Milano, a Meneghetti SpA brand, has been synonymous with Made in Italy excellence and innovation in the built-in appliance sector since 1949. Recognized and appreciated worldwide for the craftsmanship, craftsmanship and passion for the quality of its product lines, this Italian brand has established itself in major international markets, becoming a premium brand. Merit for this success should certainly be attributed in large part to Gianni Meneghetti, General Manager of Meneghetti Spa, a visionary entrepreneur who with enthusiasm and conviction believed in the company's potential, creating solid and long-lasting products.

“Our pride,” says Gianni Meneghetti, ”as well as our greatest success, is that we are increasingly in demand by customers who want to take our products to their various markets. Fulgor Milano is recognized as a brand of Italian quality and expertise, an ambassador of craftsmanship and attention to detail. This confirmation pushes us to do better and better and to invest in innovation and technology.”

An innovative production system

An open day organized in Rosà, in the province of Vicenza, at the headquarters of Meneghetti Spa, provided an in-depth look at the history of Fulgor Milano, which celebrates 75 years this year, a tour of its production departments, and a chance to admire the wide range of appliances on display in the showroom. 

A cutting-edge company with 250 employees and 80 million in sales that has embraced the principles of the lean production method, studied by Gianni Meneghetti in a major Japanese company, and based on an integrated system of efficiency and control at all levels of product creation, starting with supplier verification and technical component analysis.  

Within the company, we find a digitized research and development laboratory consisting of 35 engineers and specialized personnel, architects and designers. Equipped with modern technologies and systems based on artificial intelligence, this innovative laboratory dialogues both with chefs to experiment with product functionality and with some private users to test innovations and respond to market needs.
