7 1.1 Mission who we are italy s first production and work cooperative Founded in 1874 in Imola, this long-standing Italian Production and Labour Cooperative boasts an extraordinary, unique and fascinating story. It is a model of local organisation, based on the central position of its factory and staff that triggered a real industrialisation process in the early twentieth century. And it is a brilliant and dynamic industrial complex, where the company s knowhow and technical, managerial and production skills constantly interact to present a diversified, yearly product portfolio and meet the requirements of the global market rapidly and strategically. It is a unique case of industrial historiography that has succeeded in preserving its traditions and blending past and present thanks to its continuous combination of know-how and new research.

9 1.2 History who we are 22nd June 1874 the beggining When Cooperativa Ceramica d Imola was founded, a long history of love for natural materials, hard work brilliance and innovation began. The beliefs of its founder, Giuseppe Bucci, stipulated in various statutes and the Pact of Brotherhood (that established the company s unique structure and was signed by all its historic cooperative members) were: to safeguard and promote labour as a fundamental asset for both the individual and society collective enterprise and success the ceramics factory is born In 1883 the company opened its Artistic Section, the jewel in the crown of its production. And, in 1884, at the Universal Fair in Turin, the cooperative established its position on the international market and rapidly acquired both fame and acclaim. In 1913 it opened its first tile production line, an item that was destined to become its leading product. Then, in the following years, the company reinforced its combination of art and industry with historic innovations, new aesthetic styles, craft techniques and technology. It also widened its range of products that, in turn, led to larger production facilities, including the conversion of a late nineteenth century glass works that is now preserved as an important example of industrial archaeology and currently houses the company museum and artistic workshop renewal after the war restarting from art After being heavily bombed during the Second World War, Cooperativa Ceramica d Imola opened up for business again by expertly combining an artistic focus with an innovative entrepreneurial spirit that led to the company launching a number of joint projects with internationally acclaimed artists such as Bay, Pomodoro, Tadini, La Pietra, Mitoray, Tilson, Ponti and Brindisi s over 100 years of successes new goals Cooperativa Ceramica d Imola became a leading company in the sector and a benchmark for innovative, fine quality ceramics.
