La Lucente S.p.A. Joins the Association of Italian Historical Trademarks

Listed in the Register of Historical Trademarks of National Interest on March 14, 2022, La Lucente S.p.A. is one of Italy’s historic leaders in the facility management sector, having distinguished itself for over a century through its innovative capabilities, reliability, and entrepreneurial continuity.

The company’s history began with the pioneering vision of its founder, Mario Volpe, who was the first to offer outsourced cleaning services to clients who immediately recognized their value in terms of efficiency and quality. This innovative idea quickly led to increased demand, an expanding customer base, and the creation of new jobs, setting in motion a solid and ever-evolving entrepreneurial journey.

In the postwar period, the first generational transition began with the arrival of Giuseppe Volpe at the company, who worked alongside the founder, bringing new skills and a strategic vision focused on growth. The 1950s and 1960s, marked by postwar reconstruction and the economic boom, represented a period of strong expansion: the company identified the needs of the first major private enterprises and consolidated its presence in the cleaning industry.

In the late 1960s, La Lucente won its first major public and private contracts, and in 1972, it became a corporation, reflecting the company’s growing organizational structure. In the years that followed, the company continued to grow, expanding its target market from local to national, culminating in the opening of its Turin office in 1980.
Under the leadership of Giuseppe Volpe, the company reinforced its core values—corporate responsibility, quality, transparency, and foresight—while embarking on a long journey of industrial and organizational development.

In 2019, the second generational transition took place with the third generation of the Volpe family joining the company’s leadership. Angelo Volpe assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, ushering in a new phase of development focused on innovation, sustainability, and strengthening the company’s competitive position in the facility management sector.

This journey also includes the gradual involvement of the fourth generation of the Volpe family, reflecting the entrepreneurial continuity that has always characterized La Lucente. At the same time, the company’s leadership is strengthening its commitment to ESG issues and corporate social responsibility, with the goal of balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and the creation of value for communities.

With over a century of experience and a consistent ability to evolve, La Lucente S.p.A. has established itself as one of Italy’s leading providers in the facility management and global services sectors, serving both the public and private sectors. Thanks to a solid organizational structure and an approach increasingly focused on innovation, sustainability, and service quality, the company is ambitiously pursuing new growth opportunities, including within Europe.

By joining the Association of Italian Historical Trademarks, La Lucente S.p.A. helps strengthen the legacy of expertise, innovation, and industrial tradition embodied by the Historical Trademarks, which are true symbols of the country’s manufacturing excellence.
