History
In 1948, Giuseppe Tanfoglio and a partner formed a company known as SATA to produce hunting rifle components. In 1953, they began making pistols chambered in .25 caliber and .22 caliber. Late in 1960, Giuseppe Tanfoglio formed his own company to produce pistols, revolvers, shotguns, and air rifles primarily for the United States market, continuing until 1992.[3]
