OMPORRO HIStORY: bUSINESS IdENtItY, SPIRIt OF INNOVAtION ANd SOLIdItY

t H E P E R F E C t C O N V E R G E N C E O F I N d U S t R Y A N d d E S I G N

OMPORRO has built a highly innovative plant in Cucciago. This complex represents the synthesis of the company philosophy, which has guided and preserved OMPORRO quality worldwide for decades: design must be the perfect synthesis between function and aesthetics.

In this case, plant architecture, decor, colours and location of individual areas express both technical and logistic efficiency, as well as stylistic beauty.

The structure of the plant is “spine-like” – a central body (the vertebral column) with the departments located along the sides (the ribs). This architecture works to support a precise organisation of the production process: each department can operate as a single, independent production unit, but can also take on – depending on the type and phase of the production cycle – the role of supplier or client to the upstream or downstream adjacent department, quickly and efficiently.

Today, the Cucciago plant – covering a total of 100,000 square meters, 20,000 of which are used for production and business headquarters – provides not only a concrete example of a modern industrial organisation model, but also of integration and development of the local area.

1946 Founder Alfredo Porro, designer and inventor, set up a business activity with two patents: a machine for duplicating keys and a mould for foundries.

1974 Giuseppe Porro, Alfredo’s son, expanded the business by adding hardware items and introducing two-colour metal products, which set the trend in the 1970’s.

A L O N G , t H R E E - G E N E R A t I O N H I S t O R Y

1989 With the third generation – Fabio, Paola and Donata – the family business evolved into a modern and international company. The production system was optimised and rationalised, a highly innovative plant was established in Cucciago and thanks to good business management, the quality of OMPORRO products spread to every continent.

2005 OMPORRO acquired the historic ENRICO CASSINA brand: a perfect union of ornamental, Made-in-Italy technical expertise with the recognised master of styles, which thanks to OMPORRO’s industrial expertise and efficiency, regained its splendour.

Stylistic authenticity, historic value, valuable ornamental techniques, design, exclusivity, elegance, prestige: this describes ENRICO CASSINA.

Handles and accents are transformed into jewels. Touch ENRICO CASSINA’s creations and you feel beauty, refinement and elegance under your own fingers. ENRICO CASSINA accents are splendid creations, the fruit of decorative and ornamental techniques used by ancient gold and silversmiths. The collection introduces ten historical styles, which through “icon” and “coordinated” products tell the story of the evolution of architecture, furniture and design over the past five centuries.

ENRICO CASSINA also has a historical archive, with authentic prints and designs from Italian masters of the oldest tradition, which thanks to OMPORRO’s production expertise can, upon request, take shape again to embellish new furniture designs.

ENRICO CASSINA handles and accents add their own value to public buildings and residences of recognised prestige and distinction.

Handle styles from every era

GLObAL QUALItY COMMItMENt

In production, quality refers to respect and care for the product itself, which is not me-rely an object but something that represents a group of people and their commitment.

Quality certifications are a result of the attention paid to the product, which includes many other aspects. All of the company products undergo stringent quality tests. Only after passing these tests can these items guarantee the quality they were designed to provide.

OMPORRO’s notion of quality relates to a concept of responsibility and rigour, characteristic of the area in which the company was established and has existed for three generations.
