A HISTORY OF INNOVATION

Marche Italy
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

1987

Our story begins among the green hills of Marche Region, in the largest footwear manufacturing area in Europe, where Gianni Gallucci lives. In 1987, Gallucci graduated with full marks with a thesis about a software project named TESEO. In the same year – in the garage of his house-, he created TESEO and, upon requests of friends and artisans who worked in the footwear sector, the IDEA is born.

…in the following two years, Gallucci invented, manufactured and sold small machines for the cutting of card board and small hides, integrated with a CAD program for footwear. The combination of a simple and flexible CAD with an efficient machine for patterns and prototyping, makes TESEO grow on the European market.

1993

…until he invented the FC4 in 1993: the first automatic cutter with an oscillating knife for leather cutting.
