150th anniversary of the creation of our corporate brand

The Fischer & Rechsteiner brand was born in Venice. The company, founded by the gentlemen Fischer and Friedrich Rechsteiner, was active in the banking and international transport sectors with branches throughout Europe.

 

 

Fischer & Rechsteiner was founded in Switzerland, which was previously called Casa de Expedições de Chiasso, in coincidence with the inauguration of the Lucerne-Milan railway line that linked Italy to Switzerland.

 

 

From the beginning of 1900, it becomes "Successors Fischer & Rechsteiner", and assumes, always in Switzerland, the name "Fischer & Rechsteiner SA".

On April 29, “Fischer & Rechsteiner Sas di Lecco” (Italy) was created with the first renewal of the brand and commercial logo. The two founding partners were Giancarlo Riva (1927) and Aquilino Ripamonti (1929), joined by “Fischer & Rechsteiner SA di Chiasso” (Switzerland).

 

 

 

 

As soon as the second world war ended, Fischer & Rechsteiner SA di Chiasso (Switzerland) had opened its own subsidiary in Italy, which has successively given legal autonomy to the parent company with the incorporation in 1965 of Fischer & Rechsteiner Spa, based in Milan, which over the years had fourteen branches until the closure of activities in 2000.

Fischer & Rechsteiner of Lecco moves to Valmadrera, in the direction of Lecco/Milan, which over the years has become a highly industrialized region. There are large, modern and well-equipped offices and warehouses.
