A keen self-taught inventor, he applied his inventiveness to the creation of a number of prototypes.<\/p>\n<p>Following the harrowing war years, activities started to recover in 1946, when Mario Ugolini began his entrepreneurial activities. In the 1960s, the enterprising Ugolini was not satisfied with simply \u201crepairing\u201d, but had a strong drive to begin real industrial production.<\/p>\n<p>Interested in travel and other cultures, Mario Ugolini understood the advantages of creating \u201cdrinks coolers\u201d that he had seen in the United States. He created a prototype, presented it in its final form at the 1966 International Trade Fair in Milan, and immediately received an order for 100 machines.<\/p>\n<p>His intuition to design the smallest refrigerator in the world would lead to <strong>great future success.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_single_image image=&#8221;2817&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;left-to-right&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-tabs-section no_indents\" id=\"m0ad\"><button class=\"w-tabs-section-header\" aria-controls=\"content-m0ad\" aria-expanded=\"false\"><h3 class=\"w-tabs-section-title\">1970<\/h3><div class=\"w-tabs-section-control\"><\/div><\/button><div  class=\"w-tabs-section-content\" id=\"content-m0ad\"><div class=\"w-tabs-section-content-h i-cf\"><div class=\"w-separator size_medium\"><\/div><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_top type_boxes stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3 class=\"w-text\"><span class=\"w-text-h\"><span class=\"w-text-value\">A new business venture<\/span><\/span><\/h3><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>In the early 1970s, <strong>Giancarlo<\/strong> and <strong>Umberto<\/strong> <strong>Ugolini<\/strong>, Mario\u2019s sons, joined forces to transform the company from a family business into a world leader in the sector.
