Elba celebrates 60 years of global experience in cooking appliances

Elba, Italy's leading manufacturer of cookers and cooking appliances, celebrates 60 years in the business of producing stylish and durable products.

Elba's factory and production lines lie at the feet of the pre-Alps, one and a half hours away from the north of Venice. Surrounded by a picturesque natural environment, it is located between the renowned village of Asolo and the city of Bassano del Grappa.

Elba started business as a small family company in 1950 with the operation of an enamelling plant, as a sub-contractor, along with a small production of wood/coal stoves for cooking/heating purposes. The plant gradually became very specialised in enamelling body components of stoves and cookers, bath tubs, sinks required by major manufacturers in Italy.

By the end of the fifties, the period of reconstruction that followed the second world war was over and the following years were characterised by a huge demand for basic household appliances, like cookers and refrigerators. New expansion of business led to the setting up of a factory with larger production capacity in 1960.
