It is the 35th anniversary of the founding of the Mobilificio Artigiani Associati, a cooperative of members whose establishment dates back to 1956, on the initiative of about twenty people, after the liquidation of the Chieregato and Grion furniture factory, within which the themselves had worked and came out of the blue to find themselves unemployed. With great determination, fifteen of the former employees of Chieregato and Grion gathered in a cooperative, at the urging of Antonio Dezulian, who had carried out the duties of director of the company in liquidation. Five other members made themselves available in the area. All together, trying to treasure the errors of failed management, obviously not to commit them again, they gathered their technical-professional experiences and put into paper a new relaunch program, paying particular attention to the operational and functional aspects of management. On the "Strente" area, today via Nazionale, at the exit of the town, land was purchased (cost from 320 to 360 lire per square meter) and the first workshop was built, right where the cooperative is now located . The machines and equipment was purchased largely by the company in liquidation, the others from scratch. To finance the operation, each shareholder paid the sum of 500,000 lire (equivalent to about 8 million today) facing many sacrifices. In some cases, a loan of the same amount had to be requested from the Cassa Rurale. To help the associated artisans, the Community of Fiemme also intervenes, with a loan in favor of the Cassa Rurale di Moena, which in turn worked to support the cooperative. The residual financial requirement was covered by taking out a loan of 20 million at a subsidized rate with Mediocredito. 000 lire (equivalent to about 8 million today) facing many sacrifices.

L'attività iniziò nel novembre del 1956, con una produzione nuova, più moderna rispetto alla precedente, all'altezza dei tempi che, anche nell'arredamento, stavano mutando. Capo tecnico fu Arturo Zorzi, il cui apporto fu davvero estremamente prezioso. Una storia in evoluzione, con il successivo ampliamento del mobilificio, la creazione di un magazzino per esposizioni, le nuove proposte commerciali, altre iniziative all'insegna di una crescita di qualità e, ultimamente, l'inserimento nella compagine sociale di numerosi giovani, disposti all'impegno, professionalmente preparati, motivati e pronti alle innovazioni che ora devono proiettare la società verso il 2000, pur senza ovviamente dimenticare l'esperienza consolidata in tanti anni da parte dei loro predecessori e mantenendo intatto lo spirito trasmesso da don Lorenzo Guetti all'intero movimento cooperativo trentino. Per il futuro si sta pensando a ristrutturare radicalmente il vecchio laboratorio nella zona montaggi, oltre che alla creazione di nuovi, più razionali spazi operativi interni ed esterni. Una storia sicuramente significativa all'interno del comparto economico moenese, la cui vocazione prevalente al turismo si completa anche con queste stimolanti proposte di tipo artigianale. Ecco perché il 35° di fondazione sarà celebrato domani in modo particolarmente solenne: alle 10 la messa nella parrocchiale, quindi la visita al laboratorio aziendale e infine il pranzo presso il ristorante Al Lago di Soraga, dove il presidente Remo Chiocchetti farà la storia della cooperativa e procederà alla premiazione dei soci benemeriti.
