Furniture, chairs and bentwood furnishings are the most delightful products of Italian industry. World-famous designers collaborate to create new living philosophies which remain witness to our time.

The company

Since 1971, when it was the first company to be based in the industrial area south of Motta di Livenza, in the Treviso province, Italcurvi Srl has been manufacturing plywood bent furniture elements, boasting, among their customers, the most prestigious Italian brand names, as well as some important foreign makers.

Due to the very high quality and aesthetic level required to the finished products and the complex problems to overcome while producing the single parts, Italcurvi play a major role since they are the actual technological link between the fantasy of the first-rate designer and the industrialised final product.

The company’s asset lies in the technical support they can provide thanks to their profound expertise, which they make available to designers: Italcurvi studies the optimisation of the whole process: mould making, pressing, CNC routing and final painting.

Italcurvi LAB, a division of Italcurvi Srl, working closely with customers and designers, is devoted to the development of new products, new shapes and new technologies, namely for the veneering of 3D parts. The standard and quality of their production unit is first-class, as vouched for by the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 certification.

Why CMS

In 1985 Italcurvi bought their first machine, serial number 276, which is still producing.

Another three machines followed, which complete with software packages, have contributed to improving production and quality of profiling, rebating, slotting, drilling and finishing of the manufactured parts. The main reasons for choosing CMS in the first place, strong mechanical design, stiff structures and high speeds have proved to be correct, with long lasting accuracy and finish quality as well as providing high productivity over the years.

Evidence of the mechanical sturdiness and excellent reliability is proved by the retrofits ordered by Italcurvi to keep the electronic parts up to date. The numerical control becomes outdated much earlier than the machine it controls.
