Giordano, Ettore’s nephew, thanks in part to the input of his father Raphael and uncle Pilade, “produced” his first air conditioner in 1961, creating the Aermec brand, one of the first air conditioner manufacturers in Europe. Later, Giordano Riello founded Giordano Riello International Group.
Fourth and fifth
generations
The fourth generation, represented by Alessandro and Raffaella Riello, has picked up the torch of values and projects and is dedicated to passing it on, with the tenacity that has always distinguished the family, to Giordano and Lorenzo, the fifth generation.
“The success of a business is the result of sacrifice, work, intuition and the courage to invest in one’s ideas without forgetting one’s origins. Roots are a heritage that businesses cannot give up, because they give strength and constant motivation to what one does.”
