Bialetti is an Italian brand of coffee machines, cookware, and small kitchen appliances founded by Alfonso Bialetti. Its most well-known product is the Moka pot line of stovetop coffeemakers.
History
Alfonso Bialetti first acquired his metal-working skills by working for a decade in the French aluminium industry.[1] By 1919, he had established his own metal and machine workshop in Crusinallo (in his native Piedmont) to make aluminium products: this was the foundation of the Bialetti company.[1][2] He transformed his workshop – Alfonso Bialetti & C. Fonderia in Conchiglia – into a studio for design and production.[2] In 1933, Bialetti founded the brand and invented Moka pots. The company was later operated by his son Renato Bialetti.[3]
After a period of crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, Bialetti merged with Rondine Italia in 1993[4] and founded a new company named Bialetti Industrie S.p.A., based in Brescia.[5]
Francesco Ranzoni acts as both President and CEO of the company.[6]
At the end of 2015, the company's income statement registered a total revenue of €172.4 million, 6.9% more than 2014 (€161.2 million).[7]
In 2010, a study calculated that 90% of Italian families own a moka pot made by Bialetti.[8]
In April 2025 Nuo Capital, a Luxembourg-based fund controlled by Stephen Cheng, has signed an agreement to purchase 78.567% of Bialetti's shares.[9]
