“In 1956 I already worked as sales agent for an hardware shop that sold paint too" – tells Luigi Fantechi. “The business has been defined and organized in three sectors – Federico tells: hardware shop and key duplication, colors and home products-wedding lists. In the re-organization the hardware department could have more space available and so a more functional structure. In the meanwhile, thanks to the friendship and professional collaboration with Claudio Gori – ARD Raccanello sales agent – we started to expand our craftsman and painter clients and to range paint for cycles always more specific for indoor and outdoor”.
