In addition, to allow easy consultation of the products, our portal has reserved a product section, organized by categories, where you can find out about the technical characteristics, materials and functionality of each product.

120 companies were selected from 1800 applications: Saib was awarded both for the economic and financial performance achieved in the last three years and for its constant focus on eco-sustainability.

 

SAIB: virtuous example of circular economy


SAIB, one of the main Italian companies producing raw and ennobled chipboard panels for the furniture sector, represents a virtuous example of a circular economy, as it recycles and recovers 500,000 tons of waste wood per year from separate collection, transforming them, through a complex production process, into panels for the furniture industry.
Thanks to investments in technology and research to obtain eco-sustainable panels produced with 100% of wood waste at the end of its life and decorative surfaces with a strong tactile and emotional impact, SAIB has become a leading company in the chain of high quality product design, able to combine aesthetics, technology and reuse in the best possible way.
