Chicco

Pietro Catelli, Artsana founder and president, was born in Como on April 14, 1920. Awarded the honorary title of "Cavaliere del Lavoro", Catelli has always centered his career on human relationships and a contagious love of his work. In the post-war years he managed to take advantage of the synergy between product quality, brand identity and the power of communications. He established Artsana in Como in 1946 to produce and sell hypodermic needles, thermometers and syringes. The Chicco brand was born in 1958, along with Catelli's first son, Enrico.

In 2008, The Boppy Company was adopted as part of the Artsana Group, a global leader in the juvenile products market and maker of Chicco branded infant products.

Joining in 1995, Prénatal Spa is the largest European chain of shops specialising in the distribution of products for mothers and children up to the age of eleven. Prénatal helps women experience more serene, independent, modern and relaxed maternity. Specialization is based on constant research work, an awareness of different needs and the application of appropriate solutions, in both technical-practical and medical-psychological-relational terms.
