Awning manufacturers for passion since 1960
Do passions last forever?
Thanks to the enthusiasm for innovation, the passion for awnings of the Orioli family has been handing down
from generations, aiming at making Pratic become an important company in the awning industry, in Italy and abroad.
In the 60s, the Orioli brothers, Bruno and Giuseppe, began their business turning a horse shop into a tapestry
and curtain workshop. Some time later, in consequence of the growing and the new needs of the market,
they decided to deal exclusively in the production of sun awnings. During these years, since the realisation of the
first prototype of awning, Pratic has marked the history of the awning industry.

A long history of innovation: since the first original dome awning, arriving at the first awning tested into
the Wind Gallery.
