Every day for one hundred years, we have renewed our commitment to offer the very best to anyone looking for the excellence of Italian espresso coffee.
What we have in common is a style that has always made the difference allowing us to offer products that are visually appealing, reliable and user-friendly; machines of the very best quality that give our customers the reassurance they have made the right choice on a daily basis. The functional design and unique technology of our models are instantly recognisable the world over. We are renowned for our automatic and semi-automatic espresso machines and the recognised leader of traditional lever-operated machines, for which we hold the exclusive international Leva CLASS® (Controlled Lever Anti-Shock System) patent.
La San Marco. The past, the present and future of Italian espresso coffee.
The best machines,
the best choice.
Our mission is to continue guaranteeing a high-quality, highly reliable, safe and user-friendly product through our constant quest for continuous improvement. We want to produce and market espresso coffee machines that are increasingly competitive, avant-garde and in step with the latest technology.
Italian excellence around the world.
To become the reference brand for the industry around the world. This is our pledge and the reason why we strive to respond to the ever-increasing and new demands of development. We research increasingly cutting-edge technology and elegant, functional designs.
La San Marco is synonymous with espresso coffee machines and a global benchmark for anyone who expects the best from tradition and innovation. The evolution of our machines over time is marked by the numerous models that have made an everlasting impression with their unique qualities reserving a special place in the hearts of those who have used and enjoyed them.
From those bearing the legendary winged lion accompanied by the original La San Marco inscription of the early 900 Series, to the 1950s models of the Lollobrigida and Disco Volante, and the ones from the SM era up to present day with the highly successful 85, 95, 100 and New 105 Multiboiler Series. This is the story of an Italian company that has successfully exported the time-honoured tradition and love of espresso coffee around the world and has now secured a top spot in the industry through a well-established organisation and highly efficient sales network.
LA SAN MARCO S.P.A. launches increasingly avant-garde and competitive espresso coffee machines on the domestic and international market. It continues to reaffirm the prestige of its brand worldwide through commitment, spirit of collaboration and cooperation between management, design, production and the sales force.
This Code of Ethics has been drawn up to clearly establish the set of values that guide LSM in the pursuit of its goals, aimed at inspiring the company’s strategic thinking and the way the business is run.
The Code of Ethics is an essential part of the internal control system and compliance with it enables LSM to prevent any wrongdoing or unlawful acts from being committed in the countries in which it does business. The implementation of specific principles of conduct also underscores the company’s commitment to the prevention of infringements as per Italian Legislative Decree No. 231 of 8 June 2001 (“Decree 231”).
All recipients of the Code of Ethics are required to comply with and enforce the principles outlined in it, within their areas of competence. The pursuit of LSM’s interests cannot, under any circumstances, justify failure to comply with these principles.
Acknowledging the past, learning from experience and experimenting over time.
Embracing new prospects, processes, solutions and advanced technology. We have always juggled tradition and innovation, drawing strength and pride from our past whilst looking eagerly forward to the future.
This ability to reconcile the two aspects is what sets us apart.
People are central to our business and the entire company works together in the spirit of collaboration. The hundred plus people involved in management, planning, production and sales embody a shining example of cooperation. We firmly believe that the superior quality of our products and services stems from our excellent working environment and the professional approach of our employees.
Our products, services and support allow us to export Italy’s superb coffee culture and technological prowess to five continents.
Our machines are simple to programme and use, so the operating parameters can be correctly adjusted making life easier for the baristas who use them every day all over the world.
A truly great machine also deserves to be a beautiful machine.
When designing new models, we have always chosen to call upon the style and taste of experienced industrial and non-industrial designers alike. One in particular: Ettore Sottsass.
The lines and colour combinations of our machines are meticulously designed without, however, ever losing sight of the ergonomic aspect that is key to their functionality and user-friendliness.
Today more than ever, quality and workmanship remain the core values of our entire production process, which is carried out entirely in-house.
From product specification to design, from prototyping to the production of the bodywork, boilers and mechanical components, including assembly lines and logistics, everything is managed, monitored and controlled directly by our technicians to thus ensure excellent production quality and service for our customers.
We implemented an innovative process in partnership with the Considi “Strategy for Improvement”, aimed at:
Since 1920, La San Marco has represented excellence in the production of espresso machines. It is a recognized leader in the segment of machines with the traditional lever system. It also produces a wide range of traditional, automatic and semi-automatic machines, and capsule machines, grinders and other professional equipment for bars, restaurants and hotels, which it distributes worldwide.
