Once upon a time there was a little EPS ball...
Once upon a time there was an EPS ball. So begins our story. The story of a dream that grew from a small village near Bergamo into a group that now operates worldwide. A reality that, every day, faces the challenge of creating products that continually improve in terms of performance, safety and quality, but above all that are sustainable for the environment for which we are all responsible. To write a new story with each of you, the story of a world that believes in the importance of circularity.
