The HSSC originates from a long business tradition in steel manufacturing. The Bet family has been managing the business since the nineteenth century when the founder Giovanni Bet migrated to Peru where he established the first cutlery trading company, CUCHILLERIA BET. Upon his return to Italy in the early 1900s, Giovanni founded on the prestigious Via XX Settembre Genoa’s first cutlery shop that exists till today. Today Nuova HSSC Srl with Franco Bet continues the family tradition, managing in line with market trends and research, and focusing on the more innovative and technological aspect.
