History

Fulgor was founded by Mr. Piero Puricelli in 1949 shortly after he began working on a coal-powered cooker he hoped to develop. Piero chose the name Fulgor for his budding company because of its Latin meaning; "to shine". The company began mass producing their first line of coal-powered cookers, or ranges as they're known in North America, in 1955. Beginning later, in 1974, Fulgor began production of built-in gas cooktops and electric wall ovens. In the early 1990s, the company became a global leader as one of the first manufacturers to introduce "gas on glass" cooktops and self-cleaning wall ovens. By 1994 Fulgor's products had caught the eye of many key global appliance brands, and the company began exporting its product to North America and other parts of Europe.
