HISTORY

PHILOSOPHY

C.S.R.

QUALITY

Since nearly a century we manufacture and distribute high quality household products. We started as a carpentry realizing wooden pliers for the leather industry, well developed in the area.

Our company name actually comes from this initial activity and has been registered in 1941. After a few years we started the production of smaller cloth-pegs for the consumer market. During the ’60s we introduced the fi rst machine for thermoplastic injection and we have been among the fi rst in the world to realize plastic cloth- pegs. At the same time we made the fi rst investments in manufacturing automation, often with self-developed machines and technologies. During those years our company radically modifi ed itself changing from a craft factory into a modern manufacturing plant.

Zema brand name was born during the ’70s as the acronym of the owners’ initials, Zugliani Enrico and Munarini Antonio. The second and third generation of Munarini’s family still own and manage the company.

During the years we have been constantly enlarging the Zema range, creating some items that have become milestones like Super Pierino, Lola, Kaimano. We have also introduced other kind of products beside clothes pegs. In the year 2000 we began the fi rst test with biopolymers, like Mater-Bi by Novamont, and we also approached the world of recycled plastics.

The fi rst outcome has been the range Garden Zema, a product line entirely manufactured with recycled plastic that brings other innovation contents aiming at joining the image of wrought iron to the advantages given by thermoplastic materials. On the other side, after 5 years of testing, in 2005 we have been fi nally able to propose to the market the Ecozema range. This product line includes disposable foodservice ware, fully

biodegradable and compostable, made by biopolymers or natural fi bers. The Ecozema cutleries have been the fi rst in the world to obtain the OK-Compost certifi cate. The new Re-Zema range is going to be launched in the market in 2010. It will be entirely made by post consumer recycled plastic and will involve many other environmental and social facts.

Moreover, according to our mission, we have decided to complete our program to obtain the certifi cations ISO14001 and SA8000, besides the ISO9001 that we have already obtained.
