An italian success Story

1950
The Company was founded in 1950 by Elio Baggio, as a family business, in the village of Marostica (Vicenza province). Elio was the son of an entrepreneur, Pio Baggio, who owned various activities, such as building materials (bricks), pottery and quarrying. The initial main business was the operation of an enamelling plant, as a subcontractor, along with a small production of wood/coal stoves for cooking/heating purposes.
1959
The plant gradually specialized in enameling body components of stoves and cookers as well as bathtubs, sinks, etc. required by major manufacturers of Northern Italy, such as Zanussi, Zoppas, Fargas. By the end of the fifties, the post-second world war reconstruction was over and the following years were characterized by a huge demand for basic household appliances, like cookers and refrigerators.
1960
This situation led Elio Baggio to build a new factory in 1960, in the town of Bassano del Grappa (Vicenza province), and to concentrate his activity in the manufacturing of freestanding cookers for the domestic market. The factory brand became ELBA, which is the acronym of the founder Elio Baggio.
1978
This year marks the beginning of the production of built-in cooking appliances. Initially, built-in electric ovens and soon after hobs, made to satisfy growing demand from the furniture industry.
1987
The De'Longhi Group acquired ELBA and other factories belonging to Elio Baggio, who had by then decided to leave behind the manufacturing activities. ELBA needed to define a new structure and dimension, proper to the growing expectations from the appliances industry and in line with the ambitions of the De’Longhi Group.
2006
In 2006 the acquisition of Elba by Fisher&Paykel Group marks another milestone in the factory history. It is the beginning of successful cooperation. The combined efforts and skills of the two R&D departments led to the development of an even more advanced and styled high-level built-in cooking program. Two years later, in 2008, the turnover reached its highest level with over 92 million Euro.
2010
With further expansion into the Middle East, the company’s position has been consolidated by the introduction of new built-in products with gas technology. This year saw the launch of the "Talent for Cooking" slogan, which from now on will complement the company’s official branding.
2021
Haier Europe acquires Fisher & Paykel Appliances Italy, formerly part of the Haier Smart Home Group.
