    The history of Terno Scorrevoli begins a few years after the end of the Second World War: the precariousness of the economic situation pushes two enterprising young people: Terno Agostino and Dedè Giuseppe to found a company.

    In 1956 Terno Agostino designed a new type of wheel which he called a double differential wheel, which introduced a new use never experienced before. This particular type of double wheel allows the movement of the support in any direction, minimizing the friction of the floor. This was filed as an industrial patent on 11 September 1956.

    In the decade from 1958 to 1968 the production of sliding items and wheels for furniture will be increased,
