OUR HISTORY

HOW IT ALL STARTED

Motivated by the stimulating atmosphere of Caprese Michelangelo, the young blacksmith Domenico Del Morino started his business back in 1875, devoting himself with passion to the production of hatchets, wedges, axes and animal-drawn ploughs, both in wood and iron.

Domenico’s enthusiasm for manufacturing quality products was passed on to the Del Morino generations that came after him: it was Arcangelo, Nevio and Vito who built a new workshop in the post-war period and successfully continued the family’s entrepreneurial spirit, extending Del Morino’s activity to all of Tuscany.

Over the next 70 years, the desire to find original solutions allowed the company to turn a small artisan enterprise into an international business.
Today, Daniele and Andrea Del Morino are leading an ever-expanding company which is present in more than 40 countries worldwide.

Motivato dal contesto stimolante di Caprese Michelangelo, il giovane fabbro Domenico Del Morino dà il via alla sua attività artigiana nel lontano 1875, dedicandosi con passione alla produzione di accette, cunei, asce e aratri a trazione animale, sia in legno che in ferro. L’entusiasmo di Domenico per la produzione manifatturiera di qualità anima anche le generazioni Del Morino che vengono dopo di lui: sono Arcangelo, Nevio e Vito a costruire una nuova officina nel periodo del dopoguerra e a portare avanti con successo lo spirito imprenditoriale della famiglia, ampliando il raggio d’azione Del Morino all’intera Toscana.

 

Nel corso dei 140 anni successivi la voglia di trovare soluzioni rivoluzionarie permette all’azienda di trasformare una piccola impresa artigiana in un business internazionale. Oggi Daniele e Andrea Del Morino sono alla guida di un’azienda in continua espansione e presente ormai in oltre 40 paesi nel mondo.
