125 Years of Excellence: the story and future of L.E.G.O.

Founded in 1900 in Vicenza, L.E.G.O. celebrates 125 years of excellence in book production

In 1900, in a small artisan workshop in Vicenza, Pietro Olivotto began a journey that would span five generations and more than a century of history.
Today, 125 years after its foundation, L.E.G.O. celebrates an extraordinary milestone: that of a family business which has become a European leader in the production of high-quality books.

From craft roots to industrial excellence

Born as a small bookbinding workshop, L.E.G.O. has grown without ever losing its identity.
The Olivotto family has guided the company along a path marked by vision, passion and entrepreneurial skill, transforming a craft workshop into a fully integrated industrial operation encompassing printing, binding and related services all under one roof.
With production sites in Vicenza and Lavis, L.E.G.O. covers every segment of the market – from paperback to hardback editions – becoming a point of reference for Italian and international publishers alike.

Innovation and training: the beating heart of L.E.G.O.

The company’s evolution has not been purely technological. At its core lies a deep conviction: tradition lives only when it meets the future.
From this vision the L.E.G.O. Academy was born, a project devoted to training new generations, passing on artisan skills and technological know-how.
This commitment ensures continuity and growth within the printing and publishing industry.
Alongside training, L.E.G.O. pursues a programme of continuous investment aimed at automation and renewal of its machinery.

Sustainability: a concrete commitment

As it celebrates its 125th anniversary, L.E.G.O. looks to the future with a sense of responsibility.
The company has made sustainability a strategic pillar, taking actions that demonstrate care for the environment and respect for future generations.
In line with the principles of the circular economy, L.E.G.O. works to reduce waste and optimise every stage of the production chain, from the selection of raw materials to the recovery of processing residues.
Special attention is given to energy efficiency and the use of renewable sources, with the goal of progressively reducing CO₂ emissions.

125 years of books, people and values

Today, as it marks its anniversary, L.E.G.O. celebrates a remarkable entrepreneurial story. A legacy of culture, innovation and values that the Olivotto family has written page after page.
A 125-year old book, bound with passion, quality and vision with many more chapters yet to be written.
