The name Mepra comes from "Metallurgica Prandelli, whose founders were the brothers Pietro, Felice and Giacomo. They founded a new modernized production for the manufacture of aluminum and copper products. These raw materials were abundant in the post-war period.
Each of the three brothers was responsible for their part of the business: Giacomo for production, Felice for sales, and Pietro, who was previously a school teacher, for accounting. In 1950, the Prandelli brothers decided to repurpose 18/10 stainless steel production.
This undertaking was extremely successful. Over the next 20 years, the company constantly expanded and expanded its production line, including the production of dishes. In 1972, Gianni, son of Pietro, joined the family business. Initially, he was responsible for the production together with Uncle Giacomo. In subsequent years, he became the main intermediary between production and sales. He became the CEO of the company in 1977 and its President in 1999. In1985, Luigi, son of Felice, began working for the company. He was responsible for marketing and accounting, then became CEO. He also created a large number of new products and collections.
The 80s was a time of rapid growth for Mepra. In the new collections, stainless steel was combined with new materials such as plastic, glass, wood and porcelain. The sales results were so pleased that in 1992 Mepra decided to open a new production dedicated exclusively to plastic.
In the 90s, in order to meet the highest requirements, Mepra developed cooperation with the most influential people in the fashion world, including designer Angelo Mangiarotti and other fashionable young designers who still work for the company.
