On Saturday 1 October, 127 employees were awarded the title of Truciolo d’Oro: a record number, justified by the fact that the vintages suspended due to the health emergency had to be recovered. To be precise, the 20-year milestone was reached by 47 workers in 2020, 53 in 2021 and 27 this year, for a total of 127 winners.

“In the first six months of the year we archive a respectable turnover of the Parent Company, which grew satisfactorily compared to the same period of 2021 – explained Paolo Fantoni, who spoke together with his brother Giovanni – a result, however, that does not represent the evolution the situation from July onwards “.

In fact, in the last three months the furniture-furnishing sector has undergone a rapid decline in demand, which began earlier in Central Europe and then also moved to the Italian market, where the disbursement of bonuses for construction has only slowed down the trend. “Since August, the evolution of energy costs has had a huge impact – added Paolo Fantoni – and it has become more difficult to transfer the increases to the market, also due to the scarcity of the raw material wood, which is subtracted from producers of panels for its use as an energy source, generating distorting phenomena throughout Europe. The double factor of the drop in demand and the scarcity of wood is leading all panel producers to reduce production ».

This situation, however, does not stop the investments planned and illustrated by Giovanni Fantoni. After those intended to renovate the furniture factory area, one of the latest interventions carried out is the new finishing department where the ceremony took place: a high-efficiency 4.0 system capable of reaching 225 pressing cycles per hour.

The next step is the construction of an additional panel finishing department, combined with the Plaxil 7 plant, which will be housed in a 12 thousand square meter warehouse under construction.

With this additional plant, the company, in the span of 5 years, reaches 240,000,000 euros of investments which have allowed a complete strengthening and modernization of the Osoppo plants which in every company department represent the state of the art of technology for the sector.
