The story of Frigerio is an all-Italian tale where passion, tenacity, enthusiasm have always been its distinguishing features. Originating from a small workshop specialized in the production of upholstered furniture, Frigerio was founded in 1938 by Federico Frigerio in Mariano Comense, in the heart of Brianza, a unique district in the world for its expertise and technical ability. With the same dedication of the founder, from generation to generation, the manufacturing origins of Frigerio evolved when in the 1960s Federico was joined by his sons Gianfranco and Angelo who, in a renewed sign of continuity, continued the solid family business in a new industrial dimension. The passion of the Frigerio family together with the deep bond with the territory are still today the cornerstones of an evolved industry in continuous development.
HISTORY
The family identity, a unique heritage of knowledge and expression of a typically Italian entrepreneurial attitude, has always represented the particular value of Frigerio. Today an industrial reality with a strong international soul, Frigerio draws its strength from the deep and constant commitment of the founding family which for some years has been led together by the second and third generations, the latter all under 40. In the role of CEO and creative director , Gianfranco Frigerio supported by his sons Gianmaria, supply chain manager; Gilberto, marketing and sales manager; Riccardo, R&D manager and by his nephew Federico, son of Angelo, production manager.
THE QUALITY
The perfect synergy of innovation and tradition represents the vital force of the brand which stands out for the production managed directly starting from the carpentry for the production of the stems. Frigerio integrates the value of the profound artisan culture with the solid experience of highly specialized personnel, the advanced character of the integrated digitized production plants and a flexibility based on the principles of Lean Production with logistics, fully automated and based on a 4.0 logic. The constant investments in machinery that ensure maximum efficiency are echoed by company choices which, from the point of view of absolute quality, prefer the value of manual expertise. Although Frigerio has state-of-the-art machinery capable of managing the simultaneous cutting of several layers of fabric and performing automatic mapping and cutting of the hides, in fact, Frigerio chooses to cut the fabrics individually, manually checking the workmanship and the perfect matching of the weft with the warp or patterns in the case of fabrics with decorative motifs. A continuous dialogue therefore between the technologically advanced character and the more traditional manufacturing soul which is distinctly revealed in the sewing department where skilled hands create the sartorial coverings that personalize each product of the Frigerio collection. The choice of raw materials is also rigorous: leathers, fabrics, woods, metals and padding materials are selected with strict criteria. in fact, he chooses to cut the fabrics individually, manually checking the workmanship and the perfect matching of the warp and weft or of the patterns in the case of fabrics with decorative motifs. A continuous dialogue therefore between the technologically advanced character and the more traditional manufacturing soul which is distinctly revealed in the sewing department where skilled hands create the sartorial coverings that personalize each product of the Frigerio collection. The choice of raw materials is also rigorous: leathers, fabrics, woods, metals and padding materials are selected with strict criteria. in fact, he chooses to cut the fabrics individually, manually checking the workmanship and the perfect matching of the warp and weft or of the patterns in the case of fabrics with decorative motifs. A continuous dialogue therefore between the technologically advanced character and the more traditional manufacturing soul which is distinctly revealed in the sewing department where skilled hands create the sartorial coverings that personalize each product of the Frigerio collection. The choice of raw materials is also rigorous: leathers, fabrics, woods, metals and padding materials are selected with strict criteria. A continuous dialogue therefore between the technologically advanced character and the more traditional manufacturing soul which is distinctly revealed in the sewing department where skilled hands create the sartorial coverings that personalize each product of the Frigerio collection. The choice of raw materials is also rigorous: leathers, fabrics, woods, metals and padding materials are selected with strict criteria. A continuous dialogue therefore between the technologically advanced character and the more traditional manufacturing soul which is distinctly revealed in the sewing department where skilled hands create the sartorial coverings that personalize each product of the Frigerio collection. The choice of raw materials is also rigorous: leathers, fabrics, woods, metals and padding materials are selected with strict criteria.
