Aldo Secco revolutionised the direction followed by his father in his old workshop, researching and experimenting with new technologies and machinery for the production of windows and doors in an industrial perspective.

[citation needed] The first successes were achieved with the product Seccolor, an innovative window and door frame offered in bright colours that, in 1981, won the Compasso d’Oro award,[1] attracting orders from important clients all over the world, exporting not only the product, but also the technology required to produce it.
