// Forni Ceky S.r.l. — Lograto (BS)
Italian craftsmanship
that conquers the world.
Since 1935, we have been crafting professional pizza ovens with the same hands, the same refractory bricks and the same passion. From our facility in Lograto, Brescia to markets in 60 countries worldwide.
// Who we are
We don't just make ovens.
We preserve an art.
The company was born in the 1930s from the hands of Francesco Metelli, known as "Cechi". He started building bread ovens in the province of Brescia, until experience gained in Naples — where he learned the traditional techniques of master pizza oven builders — led him to a turning point: leaving bread behind and specialising in pizza ovens.
In the 1980s, with Ugo Dall'Olio — Cechi's son-in-law — joining the business, the company grew while keeping the method unchanged: every oven built by hand, every refractory brick hand-selected, every dome curve calculated to optimise heat. A process that cannot be industrialised. Cannot be automated. Cannot be delegated.
Today Ceky S.r.l. is one of the world's leading manufacturers of professional pizza ovens. Present in over 60 countries, with a 2,500 m² facility in Lograto (BS) and a global sales network. But every oven is still — and has always been — made by hand.
Ceky is not a corporation. It's a family story passed down through generations — with the same dedication, the same materials, the same philosophy that Francesco Metelli used in the early 1930s. With Ugo Dall'Olio the company grows and takes shape without losing its soul. With Andrea Dall'Olio it enters the global era, bringing Ceky ovens to over 60 countries.
