Company – Esterni Eterni

Mission

OVER 150 YEARS DEDICATED TO INNOVATION

Right from the start, the Margaritelli brand was synonymous with timber and railways, helping to rebuild the country after the second world war, opening up new transportation routes. The Esterni Eterni product range is fruit of this experience and heritage. The Esterni Eterni line is outstanding: essential lines, elegant design, incredibly high quality workmanship, careful selection of raw materials along with advanced production and treatment technology make it distinctive. Margaritelli Esterni Eterni is reactive, dynamic and has streamlined production processes which allow us to stay abreast of technological innovation and develop new solutions to meet the needs of the sector.
