Integrated quality, environment, safety, sustainability policy
Molteni & C. S.p.A. has been part of the Molteni Group, one of the leading industrial groups in the Italian furniture industry, since 1980. The company's business focuses on the production of interior furniture, kitchen furniture and high-end furnishing accessories for the Retail and Contract division (civil, naval).

The company’s mission is:
-
To pursue continuous process improvement in all aspects of quality, environment, work safety, and sustainability, in order to improve the company's competitive edge in the high-end furniture market.
Our key strategies are:

To improve the 'brand image' to maintain success in the high-end furniture market;
-
To adopt the best technologies available which are economically accessible to prevent and minimise environmental impact by committing ourselves to the continuous improvement of the efficiency of said technologies;
