Bruno Piatti sets up the company in the barn at his parents’ house, still its location to this day. Its start-up capital: three motivated workers.

A workforce of 176 ushers in the era of industrial production at Piatti. Modern machines largely replace manual tasks. Processes are optimised and costs are reduced, which leads to significantly lower retail prices.

The establishment and development of a specialist dealer network is in full swing throughout the whole of Switzerland. A comprehensive sales network makes Piatti’s exhibitions more accessible.

Piatti kitchens have arrived: the company from Dietlikon is the clear and established Number 1 in the Swiss kitchens sector. The strategy of producing high-quality kitchens at reasonable prices proves to be a success.

Piatti is the first kitchen manufacturer in Europe to be awarded the ISO 9001/ EN 29001 quality certificate. This certificate is assigned to companies that operate a quality management system in accordance with strictly defined directives.

Piatti opens its new competence centre for kitchens in Dietlikon, displaying 24 exclusive kitchens over a floor area of 1000m². Two consultation areas with a large variety of samples are available for professional advice.

Piatti inaugurates Europe’s most up-to-date kitchen production system. Throughput times and costs are optimised. The high level of automation in the production structure is unique throughout Europe. Customers benefit from shorter waiting times and greater flexibility.

Piatti introduces a completely new range with more than 1500 colours. The wide variety of colours, materials, handles and accessories means that practically any dream kitchen can become a reality.

AFG Arbonia-Forster-Holding AG in Arbon takes Bruno Piatti AG over. The leading European building supplier recognises the vast potential of the Swiss market leader. This new arrangement makes it possible to achieve important investments in the future.

For the first time ever, the three brands of Forster, Miele Die Küche and Piatti are presented under the same roof at the AFG kitchen centre in Chur.

Piatti gains an ISO 14001 certificate for its exemplary environmental management system. This certificate is awarded to companies that employ an environmental management system according to defined directives.
