owadays the procurement of raw materials is strategic, as is the definition of well-conceived furniture at the right price and an Italian company has managed to stand out in this regard, achieving truly astonishing levels of growth. This company is Maller, a leading brand in the manufacturing of melamine faced panels for the RV industry. It can proudly claim almost fifty years of experience, since its market entry in 1973, but the real breakthrough came in 2017, when it was acquired by the Sandei Group, which in this way continued its penetration in the RV sector and gained increasing market shares. “We purchased Maller in 2017 within the expansion programme of our group - the Chairman and owner of the Sandei Group Maurizio
Sandei explains - and we have the opportunity to develop the business further. Despite the problems caused by the pandemic, the company has experienced a significant growth and is continuing to do so. We moved into the RV sector thirty-five years ago, with another company of our own, Industria Compensati Colorno, but now we have decided to separate the plywood and melamine productions. We wanted to give Maller a specialised profile by focusing on outstanding workmanship, which could offer our customers an excellent surface finish and a wide range of decoration options in accordance with the highest quality standards”. The strength of the group Being part of the Sandei Group allows Maller to provide its customers with extreme reliability and considerable flexibility. It was thanks to Industria Compensati Colorno that the product supply for the RV sector began many years ago. Today, Industria Compensati Colorno has specialized in the manufacturing of supports, while the production of finished products is entrusted to Maller. In its Parma facility, Maller creates melamine faced panels to be used inside of motorhomes, caravans and mobile homes, both for furnishing and wall panels. “Being a member of a group with a direct control on the entire production cycle is what gives strength and value to Maller’s manufacturing - Maller’s General Manager Nicola Di Benedetto explains - from
