HISTORY 1886: The adventure began far-off in 1886, when on cramped premises in Turin's Via Madama Cristina, it began the production of labels and envelopes using automatic machineries which were very innovative for the period. Our first customers were the mills, textile factories and companies that were springing up at that time Early 900: In the early twentieth century, Sales S.p.a. began to specialise in reinforced paper envelopes, now one its divisions. 60s:The real turnaround for the company came in 1959, when, thanks to its great technical and constructional capabilities, it began to produce the first self-adhesive labels on reel, among the first in Europe to use such an advanced technology for these years. In 1962, the company moved to a new modern plant at Rivoli, part of our present offices. 80s: In 1979 Sales introduced the first rotary printing machine used to produce self adhesive labels on reel. 90s: Enlargement of Via Chivasso s plant up to actual 4.000 s.q.m., investment in two new lines for self adhesive labels and start up of the production of Rambloc, the innovative reinforced writing pads, patented by Sales SpA. 2000s: New plant of 3000 sqm. located at Via Ferrero 86, Rivoli (TO) dedicated to the production of Rambloc. Strip-it, the innovative, patented worldwide open&reclose system for flexible packaging, was launched to market.
