The name was changed to "Durium" at the end of WWII, when - after a temporary relocation to Erba (CO) - the headquarters were moved back to the original seat.
After successfully overcoming some initial difficulties, "Durium" went on achieving and then consolidating - between the '50s and the '70s - a leading position in the music business.
Besides managing and promoting its "own" artists, the company engaged in the distribution of several Italian labels and famous international artists as well.
Unfortunately, the mid '80s marked a point of no return: Fallen into a severe crisis, "Durium" went through some really hard times, eventually ceasing operations in 1989.
Please note: "Durium Circus", "Durium Serie Cicala", "Durium Serie Royal", "Serie Rock And Roll" and "Collana Blue Melody" are series not label.
