Description

The brewery was founded in 1877 by Angelo Poretti in Induno Olona. In 1939 the company passed to the Bassetti family, who owned the Splügen brewery in Chiavenna. In 1982 the Carlsberg Group bought 50% of the shares from the company, followed in 1998 by another 25%. In 2002 the Danish group acquired the remaining 25% and thus acquired full ownership of the company from Induno Olona.
