OMPORRO HIS TORY: BUSINESS
ID ENT ITY, SPIRIT OF INNOVATION AND SOLIDI TY
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.
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 twocolour metal products, which set the trend in the 1970’s. 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.

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.
Masters of aesthetic hardware
Handle styles from every era
Ten product lines for FURNITURE – DOORS – FURNISHING ACCESSORIES, expressions of passion, taste, technique and Italian design in furnishings.These lines are the result of the convergence of stimulating international experiences with the DNA of a company talented in design and technique.
Stylistic authenticity, historic value, valuable ornamental techniques, design, exclusivity, elegance, prestige: this describes ENRICO CASSINA.
OMPORRO is a leader in innovation and the creation of unique furnishing components:
• Style, design and functionality in the objects that create daily living environments. • One of the most complete assortments of aesthetic hardware for all purposes worldwide. • Development of custom-tailored and exclusive solutions, created according to the client’s wishes.
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.
• Superior quality products, for a style whose beauty remains unaltered through time.
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.
OMPORRO products are available worldwide through the most important international hardware distributors and retailers, and are used to emphasise and enrich the style of furnishing projects.
ENRICO CASSINA handles and accents add their own value to public buildings and residences of recognised prestige and distinction.

DESIGN
The ability to understand the customer’s needs, interpret the potential development of the design and propose solutions quickly, with the certainty of absolute control over all production phases, are fundamental and recognised features of OMPORRO. The company has the expertise and talent to develop personalised solutions, advise the client, and use all of its experience and skills to create an idea and a design. The vertical integration of the production process and the flexibility of individual departments allow for quick responses to the customers’ ideas. In fact, OMPORRO is able to design, industrialise and produce products starting from a sketch or a specific request. Experience, technology but above all else a great passion – to be flexible, to not be caught off guard by unforeseen events, to make every project the best it can be.

GLOBAL QUALITY COMMITMENT 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.
CARE FOR THE PRODUCT
CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE LOCAL AREA
In production, quality refers to respect and care for the product itself, which is not merely 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.
ECO-FRIENDLINESS
QUALITY CONTROL TESTS
• Traceability of the production lot • Size conformity • Colour spectrometer (spectrometry) • Surface hardness • Thickness measurement • Resistance to saline mist • Aesthetic suitability • Coating resistance • Mechanical resistance (destructive testing)
• Tests on chemical products used during production
The company considers itself to hold an integral and active role in protecting its local area, a commitment that entails considering new technology which may possibly improve the environmental impact of company production.
• 80% of water used is recycled • Purification of effluent liquids and the evaporation system reduce the amount of materials to be disposed by 30% • 97% (almost all) of excess material from production is recycled. Metal filings are also salvaged.
