NARDI
Production
For more than 30 years, Nardi has been designing and producing outdoor furniture designed for people's well-being and relaxation.
Polypropylene and aluminum are the two materials the company has selected for their total recyclability and intrinsic qualities that make them particularly suitable for outdoor use. They are offered in combination with synthetic and upholstered fabrics for outdoor furniture suitable for every home and contract need and distinguished by their original design, careful of ergonomics and resistant to the usual weather conditions.
Sustainability
Led by Anna and Floriana Nardi, the company, an advocate of a sustainable approach, in 2019 created a production line called Regeneration, dedicated to making outdoor furniture from post-consumer plastic. Regeneration also allows the company to experiment with environmentally conscious solutions applicable on a large scale to the entire production cycle, from the design of individual pieces of furniture to their packaging. In the same year, it introduced LCA analyses on several products in order to progressively implement further actions to improve its environmental performance.
All of Nardi's furniture is made entirely in Chiampo (VI), the company's headquarters, at three production sites designed with cutting-edge technology, including from an environmental standpoint. In fact, the plants have energy-saving hybrid injection molding machines, where the water used is not contaminated and no polluting gases or fumes are emitted into the atmosphere. In addition, from January 2023, all Nardi plants will use only electricity from certified renewable sources, thanks to an agreement that ensures a 100% green supply of energy produced by the hydroelectric power plant in Marlengo (Merano, South Tyrol).
For the three-year period 2023-2025, the company has deliberated other investments with a view to sustainable production: In 2023, within the historic production facility known as Arso, a new adiabatic plant with high energy savings was completed, allowing for the complete elimination of water consumption and the use of a minimal percentage of electricity. In addition, the installation of photovoltaic systems in all production and administrative sites will also be completed by 2025.
Social responsibility
The company believes in a glocal approach: the international vision and the propensity for technological innovation in a sustainable key are combined with the enhancement of local resources and the organization based on a very short supply chain, consistent with Nardi's identity founded on an original, design, made in Italy and quality product.
Relationships, dialogue and the value of the team are the basis of the relationships with each employee, and the company constantly strives for a positive, proactive work environment where everyone can express their potential to the fullest.
Every company achievement is the result of the commitment and work of each individual partner, each in his or her own sphere, which is why Nardi is an active promoter of corporate welfare policies. It is in this perspective that the company's strong support for the territory to which it belongs through social responsibility actions, particularly towards the youngest. For Nardi, "doing business" also means, in fact, building relationships that create value, spreading culture, establishing collaborations and synergies aimed at enhancing the environment and human capital especially through investments in the younger generations that represent the future.
Markets
Nardi has always operated in international markets where it achieves 80 percent of its turnover in both retail and contract. It currently works in 115 countries around the world, thanks to a widespread organization and sales service that have led the company to establish itself as an industry leader in Italy in terms of turnover.
