About Us

The graphic design of  LeghornGroup’s  Logo recreates a heraldry style. The image is  loaded with powerful symbolism  of two legendary animals. The  eye catching design focuses on the two  mysterious and evocative animals on the logo:

The lion, symbol of bravery, strength and loyalty.
The snake, symbol of slyness and dishonesty.

The design captures the animals  the moment before a conflict. At this  tense moment the energies of the animals gather at breaking point signifying a moment of universal balance , between the light and dark energies similar to  Yin (black) and Yang (white).

The battle between the two energies in endless, however there can only one winner:

Ubi maior, minor cessat,  When something major takes over, the less important is disregarded.

The forces of nature and the power to overcome  bad is at the foundation  of the innovative spirit that characterizes the company.
Company Name

The logo carries the wording  “LEGHORN”,  the English translation for the city of Livorno.

The origin of the company name dates back to 1978, the year the company was established.

That same year, four friends decide to embark on a journey towards a new business venture: Luciano Grapsa, Renato Porciatti, Claudio Gisonni and Marino Montanari all meet at  Marino Montanari’s house in  Antignano, just outside  Livorno,  to choose the name of the future company that they would go on to set up together.

The eldest of the group Marino comes up wtih LEGHORN SHIP SUPPLY  and the others all agree on this name for the new company.

In 1980 Renato Porciatti decides to leave the group of friends and open a restaurant called the  “La Chetichella” in the centre of Livorno. The restaurant continues to be a meeting point for the four friends and quickly became an important  place for ship suppliers of the town’s port..

By 1981 Luciano Grapsa directs the company towards specializing in supplying seals for containers, items that were more and more requested by the market.   This causes the company to change the name to LEGHORN SUPPLIERS (and start manufacturing the first metal seals in partnership with external companies).

In  1990, the other two partners reluctant to believe in the new security seals business, sell their shares of the company to Luciano Grapsa  who forsees the enormous potential that this new sector has to offer.

In order to give a clear message and define the company as a manufacturers, Grapsa decides to remove the word “suppliers” from the name leaving behind just the word LEGHORN.
