It has been one year since the official opening of Casa Bertazzoni Melbourne with the Bertazzoni family joined by architects, commercial developers and members of the media for the launch.

Following the success of subsidiaries around the world, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Scandinavia, the Bertazzoni family believes that having direct control and input into the execution of products in a marketplace delivers results, Bertazzoni Australia general manager, George Alikakos said at the official opening event.

“After providing that guidance indirectly over 17 years in conjunction with a number of different entities, the new subsidiary now permits the brand to have a consistent and uniform message and aligns the Australian business alongside the other successful countries around the world.”
