Our portal also has a special catalogues section to allow professionals and operators in the sector to view in a practical way all the catalogues relating to the various products (furniture hardware, upholstery materials, furniture paints, etc.). 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. The video section, on the other hand, presents numerous video interviews given by professionals and manufacturers that report news, insights and informative content on the best technologies in the sector.

SAIB selected by Intesa Sanpaolo as one of the best companies in the world

SAIB, a Piacenza-based company leader in the chipboard sector, has been selected among the entrepreneurial excellence by Intesa Sanpaolo. In fact, on September 17 in Milan, the award ceremony of the project “Winning Companies“ was held, organized by Intesa Sanpaolo in collaboration with Bain&Company, Elite and Gambero Rosso, with the aim of celebrating the vitality and enthusiasm of the best Italian PMI.
On this occasion, the award was given to companies that have demonstrated their willingness to grow and consolidate their position on the market, focusing above all on fundamental elements such as sustainability, internationalisation, innovation, and the enhancement of the skills and talents of their human capital.
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.
