Since 1911, when Valentin Tramontina founded a small iron mill in the town of Carlos Barbosa in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The son of Italian immigrants, Valentin built a solid business based on the ideals of dedication, hard work, and delivering reliable, durable and high-quality products. More than 100 years later, Valentin’s legacy remains alive in Tramontina’s products, brand, values, work environment, and above all, in the daily conduct of each of Tramontina’s sites. The result is something that transcends statistics: the joy of doing things beautifully well.
