ATL Group develops in-house all the components of the sofa, availing of a technical department consisting of 22 technicians who follow the product from design to prototype’s realization. In a dedicated area of 1100 square meters, besides the development department, main production departments have been reproduced on a small scale, from carpentry to foam cutting dept, velvet cutting, fabrics cutting, sewing and upholstery departments. The Technical Department reaches in this way such well-timed intervention and realization, that allows to modify and evaluate in a short time solutions and ideas during the development of the models throughout designer visits.

The work of the Technical Dept, has as its final outcome a complete documentation of all stages of product development allowing, starting from the Customer’s validation, the immediate start of production of the model with the certainty of the prototype repeatability.

The experience and the great ability of our craftsmen is the strong point that distinguishes us in all stages of prototyping, to make possible a sustainable industrialization of a product that still is a result of real craftsmanship.

From the attention and care put in the prototype realization, arises a proper production. Through a good documentation and a careful control, we achieve an high quality standard.

In the 50.000-square-meters facility in Faenza, there are all stages of the main raw materials processing. The polyurethanes cut is one of the two main cutting areas, it occupies an area of about 8000 square meters and is characterized by a large automation and the use of CNC machines preserving the uniformity of products. In the carpentry area, all raw materials are prepared and cut using CNC machines, and subsequently stored, divided by order and processing stage, waiting to move to the second production step: the assembly. In the assembly area, wood products are assembled on modern processing lines, where the only automated task is the transport and movement of product from one phase to the other, keeping intact all the craft that distinguishes our product. In this area the first three materials, wood, foam and polyester velvet are combined, to reach the end of the production cycle with the finished sofa and the intermediate state of this cycle with an “in white” product, that is waiting for the fabric covering and cushions. The sewn covers are then combined with semi-finished in white product and with cushions made of polyurethane, polyester fiber or feather, in order to be assembled later.

The large choice of fabrics and leathers, between type, composition and range of colors, keeps your options almost endless. But the opportunity to choose your own personal variation or typology is always guaranteed.

The leather and fabric cutting, are entirely computerised, ensuring perfect uniformity of products.

The upholstery processing is still crafted by expert hands; in this phase, modern technologies and the great craftsmanship combine to create unique products showing great tradition and design.
