Italy · since 1919
The Italian name most people have forgotten
Necchi states a die-cast aluminium interior on the K432A, which is a more specific claim than most manufacturers make at that price — “metal parts” being the usual formula. The service network is thinner than Brother or Singer, which is the trade-off.
In short. Worth a look if you want a metal frame and are willing to be outside the two obvious brands.
