MAC

The handcraft activity that developed in Maniago in ancient times continually grew and develop into what is today, a true and respected industry specializing in knives and cutting tools. It was in these surroundings that during the 1920's our business began, when Di Bon Giovanni, at that time 14 years old, started to work manufacturing knives.

In 1936, Giovanni together with other partners created a small factory that worked for other knife manufacturers. In 1958, his son Roberto also entered in partnership. In 1964 the present Mac Coltellerie was founded, and that oriented its production towards the classical little knives for souvenirs and promotions. Afterwards Mac made its first attempt at creating other types of knives thanks to Roberto's experience in sports. Thus, around 1978, the first hunting and diving knives were produced. And at this point Mac started a process of variety enlarging the production of diving knives and starting to produce nautical, fishing and rescue knives. With the growing production firm a bigger factory was needed and in 1984, Mac moved to the industrial zone where it is today.

In 2003, Roberto's son Matteo joined the business, bringing a major computerization to the business. Thanks to a large machinery capability with specialised up-to-date equipment, Mac Coltellerie developed the whole production process within its factory: carrying its own tools for the moulding presses and blanking presses. This guarantees to the clients of Mac a product of 100% quality Made in Italy.
