San Pellegrino plays an important role in the Italian historical and cultural heritage. Since its foundation in 1899 the Company has been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange. During the following year (1900), 35,343 bottles of San Pellegrino mineral water were produced, of which 5,562 were exported. A brand that in 2018 exceeded almost 1600 million bottles sold worldwide, this year celebrates 120 years of history. The project to expand the existing plant is a tribute to the classic elements of Italian architecture and urban planning: the portico, the avenue and the square.
“Our proposal does not aim to give the existing factory a new face, but rather to bring its identity to the surface: the new San Pellegrino Factory and Experience Lab will emerge from the natural environment just as the mineral water gushes from the spring. With the goal of creating continuity between production and consumption, we wanted to remove the traditional separation between production lines and offices typical of factories” – Bjarke Ingels.
