Sometimes, the history of a company reveals that everything it has created and it has evolved for, has not been generating a mere financial profit, but also make sure that the products it designs and manufactures will assist progress, no matter how hard this will be and how many risks it has to run.

Nilma’s history is of this kind.

It was in 1956 that its founder Pietro Nobili, his lack of economic resources compensated by vast courage, decided to quit a secure job to pursue his idea and create a business that, built on his own solid experience, would provide new solutions for the food industry. This led to the first plants for processing vegetables, milk and tomatoes and their derivates. In those post-war years, these plants had to meet the dietary needs of a population that was emerging from a period of shortages into a new economic boom era.  Pietro Nobili loved his products and, above all, the material they were made of: stainless steel. A metal being immune to time, eternal. Just as he wanted his appliances to be. So even today, by tradition, Nilma appliances and plants are entirely constructed from high-grade, extra-thick stainless steel.
