The History of Cutlery
Cutlery is a collective term for the various metal tools used to cut, scoop, and serve food. The word "cutlery" is derived from the Latin "bestia," meaning "beasts," because it was originally used to cut and eat meat during feasts.
The history of cutlery dates back to ancient times when people used tools to cut and eat food. In ancient times, tools were made from materials such as wood, ivory, and bone, and they were used to cut and serve food. In the Middle Ages, cutlery was made of metals such as silver, gold, and copper. It was especially popular among the wealthier classes, who used it for dining during feasts and other important occasions.
During the Renaissance, cutlery became increasingly important and was used by people from all walks of life. It was made of metals such as silver, gold, and copper, and sometimes other materials such as porcelain and wood. In the 18th and 19th centuries, cutlery became increasingly popular, and it was made from various types of metal, such as stainless steel, brass, and copper. It was used for both formal and informal occasions and was often used for dining during feasts and other important events.
Today, cutlery is made from a wide range of materials, such as stainless steel, brass, copper, porcelain, and wood. It is used for both formal and informal occasions and is available in a wide range of styles and designs.

The Origin of the EME Brand (1974)
The Mori family has been rooted in Lumezzane for generations, a land with deep historical roots in metalworking, particularly in the production of cutlery. In 1974, Egidio Mori, with his brothers already working in the sector as subcontractors of stainless steel cutlery products and components, started his business with the pragmatic approach typical of Brescia entrepreneurship.
From that ancient and hard traditional production, Egidio Mori's highly innovative entrepreneurial adventure flourished in the early 1980s with the presentation of articles designed by himself. A few years later, the production of cutlery with handles in colored resin began, which aroused strong interest from customers and the market, allowing the company to position itself at the top of world markets in a short time.

The strength of EME lies in managing the entire production cycle, supported by a highly specialized team and family members who personally oversee the production processes and maintain relationships with customers, employees, and suppliers.
