First Production Site

Founded by the Romans, expanding in medieval times and historically famous for the Council and its Bishops, formerly part of Austro-Hungarian Empire, at the end of the First World War the city of Trento was annexed to Italy.

The entrepreneurial spirit of the young Enrico Zobele remained, despite the epochal change, determined to face the negative context; a new currency and the wartime destruction of infrastructures, industries and agricultural areas made any supplying of goods activity particularly difficult.

Within this context the first Zobele business was born, located at the beginning in a large room in via Mariani 8, Trento and then in a building of about forty meters for ten behind the old family house, located in Corso III Novembre, 20, where started the proper industrial production, centred mainly on flypapers and birdlime.
