Giorgio Graesan & Friends
CASTORO srl was founded in 1984.
Twenty-two years ago.
At the time the company produced wooden profiles and the name and symbol referred to the sharp toothed beaver who cleverly works wood to build his home.
It was a perfect name for us.
In 1987 we began experimenting with decorative paints with the
Aquaria, tinned wall paints range.
This concept of decoration was unheard of at the time and traditional paints rich in plastic resins and produced using technological and colorimetric systems were becoming more and more common.
Against the odds we launched the manual and artisan's pigment preparation technology and we re-launched Venetian style Stuccos with Spatula Stuhhi.
We invested extensively in marketing to create a niche within the market for those artisans who saw themselves as artists.
That niche grew and grew and we now hold an important position within a market that may be small but that is sincere and durable, so much so that we recently celebrated the
Fifteenth anniversary of Spatula Stuhhi
We now produce and distribute
NATURAL COLOURS AND EMOTIONS.
It is quite clear that the name CASTORO is no longer suitable for accompanying our business throughout its future developments.
We would therefore like to inform you that over the next few months our company will change its name, becoming
Giorgio Graesan s.a.s.
We are now ready to deal with all the commitments and challenges that we will be faced with over the next twenty years.
Continuing to produce a rainbow of colours,
We remain yours faithfully,
