The history of Gazzotti
tradition and innovation for over a century.

Gazzotti is a leading company in traditional and prefinished parquet production. Founded in 1910 thanks to Leonello Gazzotti’s intuition, it has been guiding the market ever since.

Since its foundation, the company has always been committed in quality wooden floors production, becoming an official supplier of Italy’s then-Royal House, namely the Savoys.. Building technologies have developed since then: consistently with the new styles of interior decoration, Gazzotti parquet floors were enhanced with new wood species, new shapes, arrangements, construction and posing technologies; but that productive culture based on the rigorous selection of raw materials and the constant attentions payed to production processes remained the same.

The original factory was located in nowadays’ Bologna center,
right at the base of the Basilica di San Luca’s hill.

for wood over a century

During the years, the company’s name was modified in Gazzotti S.p.a., while in 1961 a new factory was built in Trebbo di Reno, in the outskirts of Bologna. Bologna

Over 100 years of experience, a deep knowledge of nature and raw materials, a passion for beauty and design, using technological and aesthetic innovation to realize a parquet floor that talks to our emotion, attractive to the touch and sight, environmentally friendly and unmistakably Italian.

Gazzotti parquet floor is manufactured in Italy and its production is 100% verified. Every single piece of floor is checked singularly, in order to become an international witness of the Italian style centennial tradition in high-end quality, innovation and design.

A tradition that is renewed, since the end of 2018, with the birth of the new Gazzotti 18 Società Cooperativa, in which Gazzotti’s employees take a leading role, that of the key product manufacturers and proud interpreters of a story that began over a hundred years ago.
