INSPIRED FOR TUBE Furniture
rior furnishing market design trends with the
basic function of a security door are winners. Today
our company is renowned for this ability on
the market - especially on the foreign market -
and it is considered as the enterprise that is most
tuned in on interior furnishing trends. Presently,
30% of the production is exported but the
percentage is growing exponentially. On foreign
markets we sell the product not so much as security
product, but more as a furnishing and design
component. We commercialise our products
in the United States, Africa, Senegal, Nigeria,
South America, Spain, Israel, Greece, China and
Germany. The only market that considers the security
concept as fundamental, is that of the Eastern
countries.”
“In Italy – specifies Buscato – we are organised
with a network of retailers operating in the field
of doors and windows while abroad retailers are
interior designers, as previously stated. They are
high-level interior designers, all working with
the same brands.
Quality certification is an important
aspect of our production
cycle. To sell abroad we are
subject to random controls by
several certification bodies who
check that the production
process strictly and accurately
corresponds to the company
declaration. These strict controls,
however, allow us to obtain a
quality level certification for our
products”.

Oikos started off with a craft made production
cycle where no special attention was paid to the
precision of what was a security door and not a
mechanical component. However, this operating
method involved some problems during installation
that were regularly solved by the blacksmith
or by the product installer. “The important
evolution took place when we decided to modify
the door frame that used to be manufactured
at the bending press with an open profile and
wide tolerances (0.4 – 0.5 mm)” continues Buscato.
“Then, we decided to use a closed profile
that featured a definitely better accuracy (0.1
mm); consequently, the machining accuracy and
the higher rigidity made installations easier and
improved the overall quality of the end product.
This change marked the actual passage to
an industrial production cycle. It was during this
phase that the laser system was adopted by our
