Find out more about the environmental commitment and the design and production work, which are the bases of Foppapedretti Made in Italy production, a guarantee of quality and safety for the consumer.
All the wooden products are designed and manufactured in Italy, in the company premises in the province of Bergamo: 100% Made in Italy is guarantee of quality, functionality and safety for the consumer, but also in every phase of the production process.
"Made in Italy"
And environmental commitment
For 70 years Foppapedretti has been synonymous with quality, functionality and long-lasting products.
Wood, natural and ecological,
is the main material.
The company only uses wood from certified geographical areas and from forests where reforestation is guaranteed and controlled.
For wood, quality is also synonymous with ecology.
The sturdiness and durability of the products allow the tree to regenerate and its natural life cycle is therefore preserved: Foppapedretti products last longer than it takes the tree to grow and produce the same amount of timber needed to manufacture a new item
Another key word is recycling: all the wood offcuts from the production process are recovered and reused as fuel for heating factories and offices.
Moreover,
Foppapedretti uses non-toxic, water-based paint: an economically-challenging choice, but one that ensures that the harmful emissions released in the environment are drastically reduced. It is extremely safe for the operators, guarantees non-toxicity for the consumer, and makes it possible for the paint residue to be recovered and reintegrated.
Moreover, Foppapedretti supports projects on global reforestation and environmental recovery by the Onlus Bioforest organisation to promote a manufacturing culture which is more sensitive to the environment, effectively contributing to preserving natural resources.
The company is

Water-based paint.
Our ecological commitment is not just limited to wood. Foppapedretti uses non-toxic, water-based paint, in cooperation with Icro Coatings company: an economically-challenging choice, but one that ensures that the harmful emissions released in the environment are drastically reduced. It is extremely safe for the operators, guarantees non-toxicity for the consumer, and makes it possible for the paint residue to be recovered and reintegrated.
Ecological commitment.
Foppapedretti is the main sponsor of the event called "Bosco della memoria" (Forest of Remembrance), a project conceived by the Association of Virtuous Municipalities (ACV) in collaboration with the Municipality of Bergamo. It was born from the desire to remember the victims of Covid-19 through the creation of a "breathing monument".
The area identified for the fulfillment of the project is near the Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo, where a total of 750 trees and shrubs will be plantedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QSg7GvkBh0.
Quality.
products that last over time thanks to the choice of the best materials. For wood, quality is synonymous with ecology: being long-lasting, Foppapedretti products allow wood coming from certified forests to regenerate.
Recycling.
All the wood offcuts from the production process are recovered and reused as fuel for heating factories and offices, and to supply some production plants. What's more, the air inside the factories is constantly ventilated, filtered to remove dust particles and the purified air is fed back into the production environment.
Certifications.
Foppapedretti holds many patents that has made its products unique and, although much imitated, inimitable for their functionality and design. Together with quality, safety has always been the main objective. All the products comply with European standards and certifications.
