The idea
The firm was first estabilished in 1955 with the production of household articles.
In 1958 the employees were already 125.
In 1962 SALCA s.r.l. differentiated its production introducing in the catalogue pieces of English style. The positive answer of the foreign markets and good economic results led to an ever increasing specialization in the manifacture of 18th-19th Century English Period Furniture. At this stage, the number of employees stabilized around seventy.
In the late 70s there was a clear inversion of trend: the export diminished whereas the demands of the Italian market were constantly growing. The plant was renewed and the staff members were brought to 101.
After an initial really positive period, the firm went through a serious crisis culminated in 1986 with the shut-down of SALCA S.p.A. and the consequent establishement of SALCA-ASIAGO S.C. a R.L.
The activity continued with the production of furniture; in the meantime the building of a new plant was planned. Its construction took from 1991 to 1995. This brought the covered area of the firm to 4000 square metres. During the last ten years SALCA has experienced a constant economic development which has also determinated the production of an increasingly wider range of products.
The transformation of the company into a co-operative has solved several problems concerning the production cycle and the quality of the products. The importance attribuited to human resources and the managerial spirit common to all the staff members guarantee a very high quality/price rate, as well as a very detailed production with the highest quality in every phase of the production cycle.
Today, SALCA is a firm where modern technology perfectly matches handicraft, thanks to an extremely high professionality of all partner-employees. We always have plain production in stock, for about 90% of the articles: this generally enables us to carry out the orders within 60 working days.
The long warranty and the service that we offer to our Customers are possible for the high quality standard of our production cycle.
