LA
OUR HISTORY
1946-1968
ILSA is the acronym for Industria Laminazione Stampaggio Alluminio,
i.e. Factory for rolling and pressing aluminium. The first product
bearing this mark is the typical Italian coffee maker called 'napoletana';
it is manufactured through high quality materials and improved through
some changes. The founder of ILSA organises the factory by giving
it a commercial technical feature apt to meet both the Italian and
the international market, in particular the American market. ILSA
ideology can be summarised as follows: "Exploitation of the technical
experience which has been accumulated and awareness of the market
trend in order to renew tradition". ILSA constantly pays attention
to evolution in technology and changing market practice. In 1956
production in stainless steel is started off and shortly ILSA gains
market approvals.
1968-1987
The second generation of ILSA family runs the factory. The production
is diversified. In 1971, ILSA starts the production in enamelled
cast iron off and a wide range of items produced with high technology
is available to clients. In some cases artisanal manufacturing is
practised in order to achieve high-level quality. Much attention
is paid to foreign market by producing items according to the customers'
requirements in the different countries. These years represent a
period of success for the iron cast grills called "DIETELLA", a
series which is still riding high thank to the latest productions.
Since 1987 today
The third generation leadership runs a well-known factory that aims
to expand. Cooperation between external designers and the expert
office in the factory have given birth to new and more accurate
designed products. The factory is computerised and invests in the
exploration of the e-market potentialities. A web site on the Internet
which presents ILSA and its products is a sign. In order to enpower
the sales managing direction a marketing office is created. New
technics in packing, moving, washing and storing are introduced
in the factory in order to make the production and distribution
process more efficient. Now ILSA extends over an area of 14,000 square
metres, 8,500 of which are covered, and has 40 employers. Since
1946 diffent aspects have characterised the founder and the successor's
leadership: manufacturing, reliability, renovation with regard to
tradition and attention both to final customers' requirements and
to the great distribution. Hence the awareness of being a trustful
trademark in the field of household articles and faith towards the
single European market challenges and global information.
