EVOLUTION
During the post-war reconstruction years Valdagno develops into a modern factory town with a distinct and unmistakable architectonic imprint: along with production plants come homes, schools, social services and structures.

TRANSFORMATION
In 1972 Pietro Marzotto succeeds Gaetano at the head of the Group and implements an expansion and diversification strategy.
In the 1980s a revolutionary process involving acquisitions in Italy and abroad, internationalization, concentration in core businesses, identification in high-value brands is undertaken.
Thus the company takes on a whole new aspect.
