IN THE WAKE OF TRADITION

ASTECO INDUSTRIA believes that kiosk production is an art form.

It all started in 1925 when Attilio Tabacchiera, a skilled craftsman,began producing steel framed newspaper stands with showcasewindows in Rome.

In 1950 his son, Alfredo Tabacchiera, took over the business andreengineered the kiosks to improve their comfort and functionality.After the success of early deliveries in Florence and Milan, theinfluential Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera placed a singlepurchase order for a large number of kiosks to be installed in variousstrategic locations. The growth of the Italian market for kiosksprompted the incorporation of Officine Tabacchiera, in 1958, followedby the establishment of Romana Lamiere, in 1964, to manufacturecut-to-measure steel plates and other structural components.

In 1990 Alfredo’s son, Massimo Tabacchiera, undertook the task to merge Officine Tabacchiera and RomanaLamiere to create ASTECO INDUSTRIA, Italy’s leading producer of bespoke kiosks and a major manufacturerof modular functional buildings.
