Ballarini innovation - Thermopoint

LITTLE ITALY IS A PRETTY BIG THING

Italian cuisine is the most popular one on this planet - and we are the brand for nonstick cookware made in Italy. BALLARINI unites expertise in metalworking and innovative nonstick coatings with the enjoyment of Italian cuisine. We are continually developing creative solutions for the modern kitchen based on its culinary traditions. Like Thermopoint - another little thing that is pretty big. This nifty handle sensor turns red for hot and green for cool, so you not only save energy but achieve perfect frying results.

Ballarini - it started with a bird cage

THE BIRD CAGE

It all began in 1889 when Paolo Ballarini started handcrafting bird cages. Luckily, he also crafted kitchen products from coated and tin-plated sheet metal and founded the company "Ballarini Paolo e Figli S.p.A." in Rivarolo Mantovano. Today BALLARINI is a guarantee for authentic Italian kitchen culture.

LA FAMILIA

Our employees are important to us. In some ways, they are family. Many of the 300 employees that manufacture over 12 million BALLARINI products every year have worked at the company for over 30 years. 30 years! That is quite an honor. We want to seize this opportunity to say: thank you. And grazie.

Ballarini logo evolution

IT TAKES A VILLAGE

We have been based in Rivarolo Mantovano since 1889. It has only 2,540 residents but is well known. Our famous BALLARINI products have been manufactured in this little northern Italian village in the shadow of its gate ever since 1889. So when we had to come up with a brand logo, there was no doubt what it would be.

1889

It all began in 1889 when Paolo Ballarini founded the company "Ballarini Paolo e Figli S.p.A." in the small village of Rivarolo Mantovano.

1931

The BALLARINI product range comprised 200 items including cookware, pots and other utensils.

Early 1900s

Paolo Ballarini handed over the management of the company to his son Angelo. Under the new management, the company introduced further products including, among others, Neapolitan-type coffee pots, frying pans, graters, footwarmers, bedwarmers and bathtubs.

1967

BALLARINI manufactured nonstick cookware for the first time. Truly innovative at the time, this cookware is still displayed in the company museum today.

1973

The first plant for applying nonstick coatings came into operation. Thanks to this expansion in capacity, it was now possible for BALLARINI to launch its products on international markets.

Late 1970s

The fourth generation took over the management of the company.

1980

In the 80s, hairstyles expanded and so did our manufacturing facility – with a plant for coating the external surfaces of pans. This made it possible for BALLARINI to manufacture very individualized products with different strengths of materials, colors and coatings.

1996

BALLARINI expanded its manufacturing facility with an additional high-tech plant for the production of vitreous enamel. This is a top-quality, exceptionally hard, resilient and durable coating material for the exterior surface of pans which is in high demand in Germany and France.

2004

Thermopoint launch: This innovative technology offers an energy-saving method for optimal frying results. Thanks to the integrated Thermopoint on the handle, users can quickly and easily recognize the right moment for putting food into the pan.

2015

BALLARINI became part of the ZWILLING Group which is synonymous with international growth, entrepreneurial innovation and expertise in modern kitchen premium consumer goods.
