Albertini, abroad is 70% of turnover – The Arena

“Luckily there’s exports.” It may well sing the 110 employees and brothers Paul, Carlo and Carla holders Albertini spa Colognola, absolute leader in the production of fixtures for exterior wood and various metals at the top for quality and style.
Before the “great crisis”, in fact, Albertini spa realized 70% of sales in Italy and the remaining 30% in the world. Today (pointing to 17 million this year), the percentages are reversed. In this way, says Carlo Albertini responsibility for Labour Relations Federlegno, have overcome the difficulties of the years just passed and we were able to consolidate employment and business. “He had it told to aim decidedly foreign also the president of Confindustria Squinzi the recent trade fair in Verona,” recalls Albertini, “when we have presented significant new result of our internal research.” To Albertini is a varied and foreign technology. Why the fixtures for exterior must follow the fashion of the minimalist style that is dominating everywhere but must also take into account the areas in which they fit, ranging from freezing temperatures in Russia in those torrid Dubai, from the shores of the oceans to the tops damp cold of mountains. And you go from established markets in the years to new squares, as can be India or Malaysia, where architects are called to be attentive to the details: the first markets are also served by the showroom, as in Colognola but also in Dubai, Los Angeles, Israel and Moscow, the other where you have to be assertive, with quality, high performance and class.
is a world, even that of fixtures for outdoor, evolving and the catalog of Albertini confirms, completely different from that of ten years ago. Because style and technology become one. This explains why Albertini is terminating a supply of wood-aluminum fixtures for 7 million Euros in Moscow where you are completing 300 luxury apartments at a stone’s throw from Red Square. And other contracts have already left in Russia (“there is still giving great satisfaction,” remarked Carlo Albertini). As well as in New York, where he is being held in Manhattan restructuring of prestigious apartments or in California. A great momentum is recorded then to Dubai in the construction of villas for Expo. Continues to give great satisfaction Israel, like Lebanon, while the market collapsed in Cyprus after the “escape” of savers Russians. Then there is new attention to the rich sub-Saharan Africa. Albertini, however, does not have spaces in Europe where they established the presence of local producers. And Italy? “There is no sign of recovery,” confesses Albertini, “why do not they move individuals, imagine the public. Remain small-sized goodies, precious jewels just finished, in particular on the Garda and just outside Verona, as a prerequisite to start working at home. ” F.R.
