MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
The quality of a product speaks for itself, but it doesn't come of its own accord. Cassina works as an industrial entity, but it hasn't gone back on its own craftsman origins.
The carpentry department, the traditional heart of the firm, is still the hub around which the wheel of executive excellence, which has made Cassina famous worldwide, turns. Organised in work units, the craftsmen work the wood with the aid of modern machinery, often having to produce joints that are almost microscopic, making assembly of parts so precise that hardly any glue is called for.
For this to happen, the material has to be of excellent quality. The different woods are
selected carefully at source and then in the factory according to the use to which they are to be put, and are employed with genuine mastery to make the most of their characteristics but also their eventual faults.
The reliability of the raw materials - specially wood, but also leather and fabrics - involves a high economic outlay which the firm regards as an investment in the quality of the finished product and a guarantee of its exclusiveness.
The manufacturing process is entirely monitored; a bar code accompanies each product in all the phases of manufacture, from the preparation of the components to the final packaging. At any moment, the customer can be informed of the state of his order and reassured as to its punctual delivery.
An internal workshop sees to testing products to ensure that they conform to UNI regulations. The organisation of the manufacturing processes and their conditions makes Cassina a real industrial concern, but its products, even if the output of a fully industrial logic, maintain the authenticity of a hand-made article, respectful of both man and nature.
