The most important capital a company can possess are the traditions that are passed from one generation to the next. Koh-I-Noor is a company that is all about tradition. Established in 1830 by Friederich Grüneberg, Burstenfabrik Grüneberg was the precursor of Koh-I-Noor. This company was located in Bratislava, Slovakia and manufactured brushes manually by a workforce of 100 strong. In the years prior to World War II, Koh-I-Noor granted manufacturing licenses to international distributors including Carlo Scavini, an exclusive Italian importer. Hence, KOH-I-NOOR Italiana was create to which subsequently Wilhelm Gruneberg ceded the entire know-how, patents and brands in the world. At the Tradate factory, quality and attention to detail characterize all stages of the production process of Koh-I-Noor, a company with a highly innovative vocation, looking every day for new technological solutions, formal and customized for the needs of a specific customer.
