We’re working to craft the future in the shape of our dreams
We believe in humanity, intelligence, talent and technique. This is why we have faith in the future. This is why we work every day to craft it in the shape of our dreams.
We believe in a world where city and countryside, nature and development are not opposites or alternatives, but travelling companions on a single voyage. We work to turn our business into the opportunity to mend the relationship between humans and the environment.
We choose clean energy for our systems and biological, certified, reclaimed or recyclable materials for everything we do. To build a world where ethics and aesthetics unite as one.
From processing materials to production and packaging, use of environmentally friendly finishes and renewable energy generation systems. Pianca positions itself at the frontier of sustainable industrial policy.
Raw materials
The tradition that binds us to the culture of wood grows stronger every day in the selection of the finest raw materials: wood sourced from certified forests with controlled logging to combat deforestation, and panels with no toxic adhesives.
We committed a long time ago to treading a course towards respect and conscious use of natural resources, and being able to check the origins of our raw materials and traceability throughout the entire production process. This is why we received FSC® Chain of Custody certification.
We choose only sustainable leathers for our products, created with a firm focus on the environment. The leathers that cover our furniture are produced without heavy metals, within a short production chain that reuses waste as much as possible.
The production process
We constantly strive to improve manufacturing performance, reduce and optimise consumption, minimise waste and limit staff exposure to risk in the workplace as far as possible. We have been operating Just In Time production since 1988, coordinating resources and times according to market demand.
In 2005, we were one of the first companies in Italy to completely overhaul our paint systems to establish an industrial protocol that requires exclusive use of environmentally friendly water-based paints and varnishes that significantly reduce polluting solvent emission into the atmosphere.
It was the first step in a wider vision that a few years later saw another important step forward: adoption of environmentally friendly packaging conforming to the European standard, produced with 100% recycled materials and itself fully recyclable, and an electronic object-scanning system for maximum reduction in packaging.
