Our History

A 50 year-long history

“The secret is to never stop at what you already know how to do, but to understand, every day, how to do it better”

Eurozappa was founded in 1972 through the entrepreneurial spirit of Giuseppe Brighenti, whose vision and determination gave life to a project destined to grow over time. From a small artisan workshop, the company evolved into a structured and modern organization, capable of anticipating market needs thanks to the contribution of skilled professionals and the strength of its values. It is a story made of work, ideas, and continuity, which still guides every decision of the group today.

Continuity

Giuseppe Brighenti left behind more than a company — he left a way of understanding work. He believed that the solidity of a business is built day by day, through precision, respect, and commitment.

He taught that every result comes not only from knowing how to do things, but from doing them well; that responsibility does not end with one’s own task, but extends across the entire process; and that striving for improvement is a form of respect for work itself.

Today, these principles have become a shared corporate culture, passed down through generations, and they continue to shape the Eurozappa Method — to work with integrity, to grow with consistency, and to create lasting value over time.
