The company INGA is an abbreviation of "Industria Nazionale Gessi e Affini" and was founded in the early 1950s by the Sgambaro family.

It was one of the four Italian companies producing chalk for school blackboards, an indispensable aid in education and entertainment for thousands of children and teenagers at the time. In addition to blackboard chalk, INGA produced "affini," which are other chalk products such as stucco, packaged and sold in powder or paste form. In the 1960s and 1970s, INGA also added decorative interior design elements to its blackboard chalk production. In this way, INGA became one of the leading producers of elegant decorative stucco, such as rosettes, frames, and wall and ceiling cornices. These were very fashionable at the time, ordered and installed in homes as decorative elements.

Over the years, Inga gradually moved away from mass production to dedicate itself exclusively to creating artistic objects that reflect a passion for beauty, culture, and elegance. INGA transformed into a true art laboratory, where unique, refined, and personalized plasterworks are created for clients from all over the world.
