In 1492, Spain's greatest economic problem was importing supplies of raw materials and precious goods from the Middle
East. Being the westernmost country of Europe, Spain had no control over the Spice Route, which crossed the Venetian Republic and,
therefore, came under its commercial dominion.
Christopher Columbus proposed to resolve Spain's supply problem with an unconventional idea: if it were feasible to reach the Orient by navigating
westward, the old Spice Route would suddenly become obsolete, and the center of the world trade would soon move from the Republic of Venice to the Iberian
peninsula.
When we at Lamberti speak of responding to the needs of the market and of our
customers, we keep in mind the lesson of Christopher Columbus. We aren't satisfied with simply proposing new
solutions; we aim to solve our customer's problem even if it means going against convention.
New ideas, constantly directed towards customer service, allow us to keep up with the demands of an evolving market. In other
words, Lamberti means
"custom-made chemistry".
