1979
The firm founded by Mario Boldini is born in Locarno.
After a 20-year career in the hotel industry and a few years as chief salesman for a French company operating in the office supplies sector, Mario Boldini decided to establish his own sole proprietorship.
Carbon paper (called "fibrous tissue" in sales) is the main item along with double reel ribbons for typewriters.

The firm moved to Breganzona, near Lugano , the center of Ticino's economy.
Mario Boldini travels to Europe because of his language skills (France, Germany, Austria and Italy, but not only) where he expands his clientele.
The first typewriters with disposable ribbons came on the market, changing the market and sending the double reel into the dustbin for good.
The carbon paper market is also changing dramatically with the increasing popularity of copier machines.
1990
From a market in complete transformation, Mario Boldini invents and markets the Quick Arch FIle ®, a cardboard binder - without a mechanism - that saves space in the archive.
Proposed at the Salon International des Inventions in Geneva, it is awarded the gold medal and the Barclay Prize.
All Boldini products are 100% swiss made, to have a domestic and top quality product with ISO certificate of manufacture.
