The basics of businessNaturally, service companies and manufacturing firms require a great deal of equipment to be

successful in their specific line of business. They could not work efficiently without shelving and furniture, however, to help them organize their offices and workshops. A company that ex-cels in the distribution of these basics is Tecnotelai Srl from Castel Maggiore, Italy.

Ever since Daniele Mazzolini founded a company for the produc-tion of metal equipment tailored to the individual requirements of industrial clients in 1967, Tecnotelai has followed fundamental values: Italian quality of work and materials, a spirit of research and innovation, a service- and customer-oriented business approach, and the profes-sionalism of employees and associ-ates. Today the company focuses on its core competence and selects and distributes industrial and office fur-niture, focussing on metal systems. “We offer everything required by industry and commerce,” adds Man-aging Director Silvia Mazzolini, a qualified architect. “We develop the systems in accordance with custom-ers’ wishes and requirements and or-ganize their production by exclusive manufacturing partners.” The focus on 100% Italian materials and workmanship allows for com-plete quality control with a strong focus on design. Tecnotelai offers everything required to organize in-ternal processes in an efficient and transparent manner, from shelves, cabinets and lockers to trolleys, transport racks and carts to high-rise pallet storage systems. Office furni-ture and equipment complements the product range. “We provide office

outfitting solutions that are fully in line with our existing product portfo-lio,” emphasizes Ms. Mazzolini. “As a result, we are able to offer our cli-ents all-encompassing solutions for the administrative and manufactur-ing side, enabling them to cooperate with just one competent distributor. Moreover, we are able to provide expert consultation and advice, drawing on our extensive experience in the development and adaptation of workshop outfitting.” A family enterprise owned by the Mazzolini family to this day, Tec-notelai is well established in busi-ness with its 15,000 m² showrooms and works, 28 employees and annual

revenues in the region of seven mil-lion EUR. The company cooperates with retailers in the whole of Italy and is frequently approached by cus-tomers who appreciate its excellent reputation. “Our success is based on our honesty, transparency and total focus on customers,” says Ms. Maz-zolini. “The ready availability of our products is another asset that has

gained us a prominent position in the Italian domestic market and sup-ports our expanding export activi-ties. Focusing on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Russia and the Middle East, we aim to carry the ap-peal of Italian culture and design to other countries in Europe and further afield while maintaining our tradi-tional values.”
