Acca Kappa was established in 1869 near Venice and soon became the largest manufacturer of quality brushes in Italy. Acca Kappa is a family run business that spans four generations. Remarkably, the current President, Ms. Elisa Gera, is the great-great granddaughter of the original founder! Ms. Gera focuses on preserving traditional principles - using the highest quality raw materials; focusing on simple design principles; and respecting the environment.
