The Gladiator reels are made in
Italy by J.C. Rossetti Co. who was
in business from 1967 - 1970. I am
sure that you are familiar with the
brand OFMER. Mr Rossetti was
the founder of OFMER of which
stands for Officina Meccanica
Rossetti. OFMER was then sold to
a French company called Gladiator.

The Gladiator reels continued to be
made in Rossetti’s factory in Italy
and it is around this time that the
Gladiator Mini 2was made. Later
production moved to Korea. Italcanna (Italian fishing tackle company) then bought over the mark
Gladiator when they went out of
business.
