HISTORY

More than seventy years of quality and tradition with an outlook for the future and innovation. This is the key of the 100% Italian success of Allegrini which is today a well-known and appreciated company in the chemical and cosmetic scene internationally.

1945: THE BEGINNING

1950: THE FIRST PATENT
Allegrini patented the innovative re-closable bleach container, created by Giacomo Allegrini, which paves the way to large-scale distribution for the company.

60 YEARS’: THE FIRST MAJOR SUCCESS
These are the “good years” of a happy Italy, the years of economic growth and the Dolce Vita. It is precisely in such a happy time in the history of our country that Allegrini achieved its first successes:
