Antonini hosted a celebration at its headquarters in Tuscany, Italy, for its 78th anniversary.

At its Empoli headquarters, Antonini brought together employees, associations, politicians and other delegates to celebrate its anniversary.

The event was hosted by CEOs Barbara and Francesca Antonini, the last heirs of their grandfather Fosco who started the company in 1946.

Those in attendance included Alessio Mantellassi, the Mayor of Empoli, and Empoli Councillors Adolfo Bellucci and Nedo Mennuti.

With roots in post-war Italy, Antonini began as a small workshop before being carried forward by brothers Cesare and Massimo Antonini, Fosco’s sons.

The company specialises in annealing, decorating and tempering lehrs for hollow glass.

Today, Antonini ships products from Europe to the Middle East, as well as several countries in Asia and the Americas.
