In 1922, the little town of Salurn situated in the mountains of South Tyrol was in need of a wheelwright. That marked the beginning of the history of Josef Kosta and his family in the field of woodworking. In 1962, forty years after his father had settled in Salurn, Oskar Kosta founded the family run company Joko and began with the production of butchers blocks for professional use. High quality wood and precise processing helped the company establish itself in the european and international markets as a reliable manufacturer and supplier. Since 2003, the company has been in its third generation, The passion for a clear design language in combination with the latest kitchen technology is our motivating force.
