1913, and in Milan a horse and carriage was the way to get around.
In Via De Cristoforis, off Corso Como, an address which today is synonymous with fashion and trends, a young Luigi
Zaini established his first “factory of chocolate, cocoa, sweets, preserves etc.”. Luigi Zaini’s dream was to be able to
satisfy any wish for something sweet, in fact, the young entrepreneur maintained: “Everyone is different, so why aren’t
we creating lots of different chocolates and sweets for each different person?”.

In those difficult times (the First World War was on the horizon), establishing a wide range of your own products was
nothing less than visionary and completely forward-thinking.
The skill and enthusiasm that Zaini poured into his business made it take off immediately, so much so that in a very
short space of time the factory had to move to Via Imbonati, where it still has its head office today.

Luigi Zaini S.p.A. is the only confectionery factory actually located in the city of Milan, and the scent of chocolate
still continues to seduce passers-by and those who live in the area.

ZAINI: ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 certificates“Zaini’s proven quality system, adopted by the company since the very
beginning, has obtained 2 important certifications: ISO 9001 relating to quality ISO 22000 relating to product and
production safety These represent the highest recognition possible within the ISO9000 system.
This goal was achieved thanks to the tireless and committed work which involved all of Zaini’s employees, from
management to the factory floor. Obtaining certification has enabled Zaini to refine its own processes, ensuring greater
fluidity for all the management, and will see the company committed to a continuous process of improvement.”
