Our Story

How everything started

01 / 07

1922

The JOKODOMUS story begins in 1922, when Josef Kosta and his family moved to Salorno, where Kosta began working as an expert wagon builder. His son Oskar was interested in working with wood as well, but the more he learned about the needs of the region’s numerous butcher shops, a new career path took shape.

1962

In 1962 Oskar founded Joko, a company that built butcher’s blocks for the professional food sector. 

The goal of the family company was to create high-quality products using the best cuts of local wood, a goal that would eventually earn Joko a reputation both in Italy and abroad.

2003

When the family’s third generation – Josi and Franz Kosta – took over the company in 2003, they focused on renewal. They were searching for new challenges. Why not create a product for private use, for people who are really passionate about good food? 

Why not create products for people who appreciate artisanal quality and superior craftsmanship, and who love to make every meal a celebration? 

Thus JOKODOMUS was born.

With Josi Kosta and JOKODOMUS

Josi Kosta, the founder of JOKODOMUS, combines artisanal skill with visionary strength and a passion for culinary excellence. The roots of this innovative kitchen manufacturer are planted in the picturesque town of Salorno in South Tyrol, Italy, where the family tradition in craftsmanship was established in 1922 by Josef Kosta. This focus on quality has continued through generations, culminating in Josi Kosta's revolution in kitchen equipment in 2003.

After his education and professional experience across Europe, Josi returned with a clear vision: cooking as an art form and a social experience. Under his leadership, JOKODOMUS has become synonymous with high-quality, design-driven kitchens that foster freedom and creativity. Josi’s kitchens are more than just functional spaces; they are venues for enjoyment and socializing.

"Cooking is emotion," Josi emphasizes, pointing out that his aim goes beyond mere technical perfection. Each piece from his workshop in Salorno stands as a testament to a blend of family craft tradition, artistic aspiration, and modern kitchen technology. JOKODOMUS is not just a company story, but an ongoing tale about the beauty of craftsmanship and the limitless possibilities of creativity.
