Ownership by the same family of industrialists for 130 years is not by chance.
Likewise, neither is the trust that for generations consumers have given
ACCA KAPPA products.
Continuity of operations through time is in fact a guarantee of serious
purpose, and the individuals who head the company take full responsability for all
decisions. Each material is carefully chosen within a product philosophy that is in fact a
philosophy of life-respect for people and for the environment and well-being for
the individual and for the group.
The guiding principle of manufacturing is "soft technology" at the service of a
renewed interest in the "simplicity of things". This means giving priority to natural
materials such as wood, rubber, bristles, vegetable fibers, Mediterranean sponges
and aluminum. The wood, whether it is common beech or Makassar ebony, comes from plants that have been reforested, and normally the wood is not varnished but
is given its only finishing touches by hand.
Where it is inappropriate to use natural materials, other raw materials are used that respect environmental concerns and
the intrinsic quality of the product. This same consideration is true for
biodegradable cellulose acetate, used for a new line of brushes called "Bioceta",
and also for methacrylate, a superb and resilient plastic used for a line of brushes
and accessories of the highest quality.
