Iseo was born in 1969 from Giuseppe Facchinetti's extraordinary entrepreneurial spirit. It began manufacturing locks, cylinders and padlocks in Pisogne, a village on Lake Iseo (Northern Italy), from which the company got its name. Deeply rooted to its origins, Iseo has remained faithful to its own territory and to the manufacturing vocation of the family who founded it and brought it up to its current size.

In 1998, the founder's son Evaristo Facchinetti began a new phase of development and founded the Iseo Group. His growth strategy focused on two key elements. Size: because that makes a difference in a competitive market. The Human Factor: because entrepreneurial spirit is the centerpiece of a group. In line with this strategy, new global horizons open up for the Iseo Group thanks to the subsidiaries which have been operating in Europe, Middle and Far East, Latin America and, since 2009, in China too.
