Message to order Messi’s grill
“We were frozen and didn’t know what to say. It was an honor to personally make a grill for Messi,” Guillermo said. According to this businessman, he advised Messi’s wife Antonella to choose the most suitable stove. After that, Guillermo and his colleagues made a few changes in the design to suit Messi, such as printing the Argentine superstar’s image on the stove’s body.

Messi’s order is said to have saved the Labohierro company
It is known that Guillermo’s Labohierro is facing difficulties because of the gloomy business situation. However, the order from Messi has given the above business more motivation to continue to exist.
“Messi chose a small company like us, among thousands of companies out there. That is a great encouragement for us to continue to maintain our work,” Guillermo said. Having the attention of a star like Messi will certainly increase the company’s reputation significantly, attracting more orders in the future. According to the designer, Labohierro’s following has skyrocketed to 160 thousand.
