In the 1940s, three ambitious siblings—two brothers and a sister—in the province of Pavia embarked on a mission to contribute to industrial development. Thus, Fratelli Allevi was born, crafting its initial products for the prestigious footwear sector in Vigevano, a town that would soon become a global epicenter for shoe production. In the 1960s, hydraulic systems were integrated to amplify cutting power, marking the Allevi siblings as pioneers in the industry. This era witnessed the birth of the MAV brand, an introduction that resonated worldwide. Meccanica Allevi Vigevano (MAV) progressively gained global acclaim, offering increasingly sophisticated models and fostering international collaborations to forge innovative, high-quality solutions.
