ULTRAVELOX s.n.c. - Via Bergamo, 41 - 23851 - Galbiate (Lecco) - Tel./Fax: +39 0341 542489 - e-mail: ultravelox@ultravelox.it ULTRAVELOX snc was established in the 1950's by Luigi and Giannino Albieri. They started with the production of compounds to quickly remove stains from materials, hence the name Ultravelox     ("extra-quick"). It distributes these products directly to outlets in Lombardy area; it paid special attention to market demands and  expanded its range by including lubricants for the home, polishes and protective products  for metals, adhesives,   retouching enamels etc. The requests of a number of nationwide wholesalers brought considerable visibility to the Ultravelox brand product. A series of patents confirmed the dynamism of Ultravelox and allowed it to gain recognition and stand out among all its  competitors in this sector. In 1985 it took part for the first time as an exhibitor at MACEF, and during this first Home-ware trade fair, it had the chance  to meet a variety of people and listen to their various needs; this led to the idea of a new device that it quickly patented   (a cap with a roller inside to paint the white between the gaps in tiles "WHITE GROUTING LINE DEVICE") and then distributed; the requests for this product led to an increase in requests to become agents for the company and the network of both  exclusive and multi agents and representatives soon spread the Ultravelox brand nationwide. It attended a variety of international trade fairs (Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Spain, Hungary, Russia, United States, Burma,  Singapore, Egypt), in order to approach the foreign market and captured the interest of a number of companies  operating in the mail order sector which contributed to diffusing the name of the brand even further. Over the years Ultravelox has been a supplier and commercial partner for a number of multinationals and famous Italian  and foreign brands. It currently works with renowned national distributors, historic foreign clients and on behalf of third parties. Ultravelox has faced the current crisis and consequent drop in sales as a challenge to search for new opportunities and  new business alliances.
