Metal Polishing - Iosso

Iosso is a brand distributed by Brava.

But, how does it originate? Did you know that it has its origins in the years following World War I?

In fact, in the years following World War I, Mr. Ryland, owner of a dye mill in Birmingham founded in the early 1800s, met Mr. Basso of Genoa. The two men quickly hit it off commercially and decided to establish the Ryland Colorificio in Italy as well, which was highly regarded in the Commonwealth and the United Kingdom for its yacht paints.

Thus in 1926 the company between the two businessmen was founded in Genoa. The B.R.A.V.A.: Basso Ryland Anonima Vernici Affini. La Brava quickly became one of the first Italian color factories specializing in the Navy; its paints and enamels protected Italy's finest ships : "Julius Caesar," "Augustus," "Saturnia," "Vulcania." Even then, and then more so after the last war, Brava was among the first domestic color factories to qualify for paints for the Navy. The British were in the forefront, so that their original formulas made in the Genoese dye works proved successful. The British ceded to the Brava partner not only their technique, but also the prestigious image of labels in the unsurpassed Victorian naval style that the Genoese color factory has religiously preserved and still uses today for its classic "Rylard" paints.

But today?

BRAVA, although it has expanded to other fields in the world of paints, maintains in the nautical industry its main sector, in which the quality of the products has an absolute importance, and only companies with deep-rooted tradition do not fear the continuous confrontation with the marine environment, so fascinating and terrible.
