We were born as employees of the historic Zanardi Publishing Group, a company founded in the 1960s and which over time has established itself both nationally and internationally thanks to the technical and production skills of its workers. It has also developed a new book structure called Octavius, for which it owns the patent rights. Unfortunately, the profound change in the market, following the international crisis of 2008, decreed the decline of the Group which saw its end in 2014 with the tragic death of one of the two owners. A NEW FUTURE Our story could have ended with the liquidation of the company but we did not want to give up on the idea of losing what was built over so many years of work. Aware of our technical skills, we got involved personally by founding the Zanardi Workers’ Cooperative in May 2014. Many historical customers, whom we sincerely thank, have renewed their trust in us, allowing us to continue to bind some of the most beautiful and exclusive books that can be found on the market. This encourages us to continue our work with passion, which has as its strengths the love for books, attention to detail, punctuality in deliveries and customer satisfaction … even the most demanding TECHNOLOGY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP: A WINNING COMBINATION Despite being equipped with a state-of-the-art machine park, the Zanardi Workers’ Cooperative has retained its peculiarity as a business with a strong artisan connotation by maintaining a range of diversified and particular processes and investing in the continuous search for new products.
