The story
Elica was founded by Ermanno Casoli in Fabriano in 1970. After Ermanno died of a heart attack in 1978, leadership was passed first to his wife and then to his son, Francesco.
Over the years, the company grew to operate seven factories in Italy, Poland, Mexico, India and China with a production of over 21 million hoods.
In June 2018, the company sold 33% of Elica India to Whirlpool of India.
