History

Founded in 1956 by the brothers Lovato in Padova, Lofra began working producing pots with remnants of war materials.
In subsequent years it started to produce the first heating and wood stoves and finally get to the gas cookers in stainless steel. For a short time, it also produced camping stoves.

From the 80s to the present day the company has produced other than gas ranges cookers, built in hobs and ovens both gas and electric and cooker hoods. Since the beginning of 2010 the company has grown to a new property managed by an Iranian multinational .

Since 2012, after nearly 60 years of production at the historic plant in Teolo, production was transferred to Torreglia, town at the foot of the Euganean Hills.

Lofra was founded in 1956 by the Lovato Brothers who, in the post war period, began their activity producing cauldrons with materials coming from remnants of war, then switching to the production of camping stoves, heating stoves and finally to stainless steel gas cookers for domestic use, to meet the basic needs of consumers. The real turning point came in the mid-eighties years, when management and control pass to the sons of the founders, who finally succeed in giving the company a first organizational and managerial structure, an absolute novelty in the Italian north-east industrial landscape of the period.
