The first patent

The beginning of an era

In 1964, in Busto Arsizio (VA), Michele Mara started Du-Puy, founding the company on three basic pillars: quality, style and practicality. With visionary innovation, Mara patented a revolutionary machine known as the “Sole.” It is a marble polisher, featuring an off-center motor, designed to reach even the most difficult areas of the house, go under furniture, thanks to its flat structure. Mara’s invention not only marked the beginning of Du-Puy, but also represented an important technological step in the cleaning industry, setting a standard of excellence that the company continues to maintain.
