Italian Manufacturer Novellini
is proud to announce that in January 2016 Novellini Group is 50!
It is now half a century since founder Mr
Gianfranco Novellini started production
from a small workshop in Mantova in the
January of 1966. 50 years on Gianfranco
is survived by his children Marco and
Barbara Novellini who are guiding and
building upon their father’s legacy
Novellini Group, into 21st century. Still
based in Mantova, Italy, Novellini is now
the World’s largest independent producer
and manufacturer of shower enclosures,
steam cabins, baths, whirlpools and
shower trays with a current workforce of
over 900 employees worldwide.
In the last decade Novellini has
made significant investments into
environmentally friendly manufacturing
processes and continues to strive towards
ever more sustainable holistic production
and distribution methods for the future.
All phases from raw materials, production
of components, assembly, packaging and
distribution are carefully considered,
in accordance with and sometimes
surpassing current EU directives and
international standards on quality, safety
and sustainability.
Aluminium, one of the key materials
used by Novellini in the production of
shower enclosures is processed currently
from up to 60% recycled material and
whilst maintaining the highest quality
of aluminium product Novellini is
striving to increase the proportion of
recycled aluminium, in so doing reduce
dependency on new raw aluminium
further reducing environmental impacts.
Novellini introduced the use of PVD chrome as the main finish treatment applied to
aluminium profiles used throughout the Novellini collections. The PVD chrome process
used is a unique and patented system that is exclusive to Novellini (the same process is
used for the Gold & Nickel finishes) and it has several key advantages:
•
PVD chrome has a very low environmental impact and produces no harmful
chemical by-products,
•
PVD chrome produces a durable bright finish that truly matches to other chromed
brassware finishes,
•
PVD chrome is applied to profiles after any machining so that even profile ends and
drillings are protected.
•
The PVD chrome process allows Novellini to add other base metals to the finish
such as Silver and Zeolite – long recognised for their anti-bacterial properties.
•
PVD chrome gives a smoother surface finish that reduces the need for vigorous
cleaning and prevents the build up of lime-scale deposits.
So now in 2016, its 50th year, Novellini is able to offer a range of 6 durable frame finishes to complement its already
extensive range of shower enclosures and steam cabins.
