Our History

Home / Company / History

We are manufacturers of chairs and armchairs and have been operating in the Treviso furniture manufacturing cluster since 1945.
The Busetto brand, which is synonymous with creativity and reliability, dates back to the mid 19th century, when the Busetto family began a centuries-old tradition in the woodworking industry that has since been handed down from one generation to the next.

Like a strong tree, the roots of our company go deep down and have absorbed the invigorating values and knowledge handed down by generations of carpenters. The Busetto family origins are in the Venice lagoon, at that time the world capital of woodworking, where the shipyards alone employed 12000 carpenters.

1945

the current owners' father, Antonio Busetto, hired his first employee. Things were hard at first; work mainly consisted of repairing houses ruined by the recently ended war.
Over the years the company shifted from making all types of furniture to specialising in chair manufacturing.

With his vast experience and technical qualifications perfected in Germany, Antonio and a group of friends established a school, where he taught technical drawing for some years and then served as an invigilator during exam sessions.
Almost all the furniture manufacturers in what is now one of the most important manufacturing districts in the world were trained in this vocational school.

1971

In 1971 it moved from its first facilities in the town centre to its modern site, where it has been extended to its current dimensions. In the vicinity another two factories have been built with other partners, creating a total covered area of approximately 12000 m2 where around 70 people are employed.
