Giovanni Battista Ambrosoli born in Como in 1882, after having obtained the diploma of industrial chemist at the Technical Institute of Winterthur (Zurich) and after having worked in the chemical field for several years in German Switzerland, he returned to Italy in 1906 His transfer in 1906 to Ronago (Co) is to manage the farm of his paternal grandmother who was left without a guide. In this period of activity he always keeps alive the interest in chemistry studies. However, his passion for beekeeping was born in him by chance: “I became a beekeeper because I was a consumer of honey”. In a few years he developed a modern beekeeping and began to pack honey in jars, taking great care of the quality. His main idea was to put a product in stores that conformed to consumer expectations. Officially the GB Ambrosoli company was born with the registration in the Chamber of Commerce of Como in the year 1923. The new product begins a rapid diffusion thanks also to the recently invented radio advertising that gave the possibility to make the public aware of the merits and values of Honey. In harmony with this activity, in 1930 he developed the production of candies filled with honey and at the same time, starting from beeswax, he created the “Amber Wax” for floors and furniture. The years after 1930 saw a good development of the work also because the Founder received a great help from his eldest son Costantino who worked for almost a year in the United States. These were years of great activity with new machines for the production of candies and the diffusion of products supported by measured advertising campaigns. After the war years there is a further development of GBAmbrosoli SpA which sees a great increase in the sales of honey and sweets even outside national borders. © GB Ambrosoli SpA - VAT number 00195420138 CREDITS PRIVACY THE SHOP CONTACT US
