MESTEL SAFETY

Mestel Safety started their company as a small tire repair shop in the heart of Genova. After creating a wrong rubber mix in the late 1950, Gianni Gamberini, disappointed and annoyed with the result of his experiment, threw a test mix to cool off in a water recipient. To his awe, the rubber piece, went right back to the surface and floated. Shortly after, the first floating fins were on the market, starting from Genova, where brands not only have made the history of scuba diving – they generated the scuba industry.

Since then the Gamberini family has always been working with rubber, plastics and it’s derivates, mastering this category of raw material and continually finding new potential uses and markets.
Since 1980, Mestel has been manufacturing gas masks, based on innovative concepts and design. With time Mestel Safety, became strongly involved in providing safety solutions all over the world.
