Lubinski

The company was founded in 1962 by Wojciech Lubinski, of Polish origin, to trade in Italy in smokers' articles, in particular pipes and accessories. Wojciech had previously spent time in Italy as a Polish army regimental officer attached to the American Liberation Army. He was wounded in action in Italy, met his wife and returned to the country after the war years. Here began his long journey to success - from the first 10 dozen Falcons he bought with his own savings, to becoming the country's largest distributor of pipes and pipe accessories. Since 1975, the company Wojciech Lubinski founded has been run by his son Mario, who has expanded abroad with the export of handcrafted products. The company's development was marked by the acquisition of the Stanwell brand for Italy in 1973, Peterson in 1976, Il Ceppo in 1978, Amorelli in 1981 and Ashton in 1982. Over the years, it has successfully selected and distributed over 30 Italian and foreign brands, industrial and hand-made pipes. In 1966, the company launched Butz Choquin pipes on the domestic market, followed by the legendary Son and Preben Holm, in 1972 Mastro de Paja, in 1978 James Upshall and in the 80s the Danish gems Bo North, Jess Chonowitsch, Teddy Knudsen, Vigen, and Andersen, not forgetting Bang, Poul Winslow, WO Larsen, Caminetto and Chacom, which are still part of the company's portfolio.
