DMM create custom-designed or standard
ranges with no quality compromise
“The Final Touch”
INSPIRED FOR TUBE Furniture
“To produce hundreds of pieces of furniture as if
they were individually made, we combine sophisticated
manufacturing methods such as laser tube
cutting, with more traditional craft methods such as
end-finishing by hand -the final touch-”. These words
come from Gian Luca Malipiero, who is the Marketing
Director of DMM di Montecchio di Sant’ Angelo
in Lizzola (PU). The company is an extremely
modern manufacturer but with origins deeply rooted
within the craft industry. By preserving its flexibility
and attention to detail it has retained the ultimate
respect of its clients and product integrity.
Complete-integration is the “secret”
DMM began life as a manufacturer of decorative
metal components for furniture, and this still remains
their core business in the furniture sector.
“We produce components and accessories for
the whole furniture industry, the kitchen sector in
particular,” affirmed Signor Malipiero. “In practice,
we are able to turn full circle in providing
pieces for kitchens, lounges and dining rooms up
to complete bar and shop furnishing.” It’s an extremely
comprehensive range of products and
DMM are able to supply their clients with whatever
they want in quick time.
The secret There is complete integration of the
production software with CAD and CAM programming,
dramatically reducing lead times. “In
the course of the last six years, for example,” Signor
Malipiero relates, “there has been an 80% reduction
in design times for our main product
ranges, the process is now completely automated.
It must be emphasised that there is no real
standard catalogue - it’s down to client choice -
with infinite combinations possible for customised
designs or for adaptations from a basic product.”
From design idea to perfect prototype
Designers are always the first link in the chain in
DMM. “This is especially true in the kitchen sector
where clients only give us the bare bones of
an idea and basic dimensions,” says Mailpiero
“and ask us to solve all the logistics”.
