FAMILY COMPANY SINCE 1966
The origins of the name Martèl
The origins of the Martèl company date back to 1966 when Bertocchi Franco and his two brothers established the company IVS s.n.c. which in 1986 ceased its activity and has been replaced by Martèl s.r.l.
The name is inspired by the historical roots of the Bertocchi family, in fact Martèl is the nickname used in Gandino to identify the descendants of the bell ringer 'Francesco Bertocchi di Antonio' who all knew as the 'Martèl' because he played the famous hammer bells of the village.
A trace of these origins was discovered in an old article appeared in the issue of September 1935 of the magazine "La Val Gandino" where the text of a letter from "Martèl" was reported.

The renovation of the building of the 1890
The origin of our shed dates back to just before 1900, when to the unity of Italy followed a strong industrialization that involved the whole country: the "Cotonificio della Valle Seriana" was built at the bottom of the valley, preparing to leave behind the traditional wool processing.
The plant, which was also one of the first to have an autonomous electrical system, turned out to be one of the largest in the sector and, having reached 500 workers, contributed, together with the spinning "Dell'acqua", to give a decisive impulse to the economy of the area.
At the beginning of the 2000s, we bought and renovated the building, transforming it into a modern industrial building, but preserving the architecture of the external part as it was originally in 1890.
