Catas just had a glorious 2022. One of the most important European laboratories for testing in the wood-furniture sector, it looks back on the past twelve months with real satisfaction. In light of a little increase in tests performed over 2021, just about 45,000, and a turnover that stays just over the 7 million euro mark. A few initiatives in 2022, chief among them a reaffirmed commitment to the supply of testing equipment created and produced by Catas Engineering, have undoubtedly contributed to this outcome.
As a result, an increasing number of furniture manufacturing companies are able to maintain the quality of their products. The launch of the lab’s new service, “The Life Cycle measured by Catas,” has also been very successful. Many businesses have turned to the brand to objectively measure the environmental impact of a raw material, a semi-finished product, or a finished product in accordance with the widely accepted principles of the LCA-Life Cycle Assessment.
Thirty years of the CQA-CATAS Quality Award
The year 2023 will also see the thirtieth anniversary of the “CQA-Catas Quality Award”, a certification that does not concern a single product, but an entire production that therefore sees affirmed in terms of quality a “chain of values” including materials and processes. Just in the last few days, the company has reached the prestigious milestone of 200 certified products, from panels to coating systems, from semi-finished products to furniture.
The demand
As the Italian market continues to grow, tests for customers around the world now represent 35 percent of Catas’ entire business. In 2022, in particular, there was a significant increase in orders from China, where many manufacturers have to meet the stringent specifications imposed on them by the furniture distribution global retailers
2023 highlights
Catas is expecting to further develop its activities in its three locations in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lombardia and Marche. In San Giovanni al Natisone (Udine) everything is now ready to start for a new project. In Lissone, Catas is reaping the benefits of a thirty-year presence that now involves a growing number of companies. During 2022, the activity of the Catas Point Pesaro was consolidated. In 2023 Catas will also be present in some exhibitions and events to confirm its international vocation for the wood-furniture sector.
