What Brugnotto Group does

Brugnotto Group (legal entity Brugnotto Srl) is a privately held, family-owned Italian furniture manufacturer founded in 1980 by Franco Brugnotto, headquartered in Zenson di Piave in the Treviso province. The company produces custom wood and panel-based furniture, combining artisanal carpentry with industrial automation, and is organized into four operating divisions: Hi Contract (turnkey project furniture for hospitality, offices and retail interiors), Hi Retail (modular shopfitting systems rebranded from Shop Interiors in 2020), Hi Display (bespoke POS displays and branded shop fittings), and Morica Design (a direct-to-consumer e-commerce line for sustainable home furnishings sold via partnership with Calicantus Srl).

The manufacturing platform spans 50,000+ m2 across two main plants in Zenson di Piave (20,000+ m2) and Fossalta di Piave (30,000+ m2), plus two logistics/warehouse sites and a dedicated Batch 1 Just-in-Time plant introduced in 2022 with automated panel storage, performance cutting, edgebanding and robotic unloading. Production capabilities include seven CNC panel machining centers, a five-axis and an eight-axis CNC center, dedicated solid-wood turning and shaping equipment, a plotter for prototyping in mixed materials (plexiglass, leather, composites), integrated lighting installation, and a 1.7 MW photovoltaic system installed in 2024. The group holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and FSC Chain of Custody certifications.

Commercially, Brugnotto operates a hybrid B2B and B2C model. B2B revenue is generated through project-based contracts with architects, designers and enterprise clients across retail (Guess, Nespresso, Salmoiraghi e Viganò, Gucci, Illy), hospitality (Hotel Europa Palace, Royal Garden Hotel, Casa di Langa), F&B (Porzio Coffee, Rêve Bistrot), sports (Diadora) and other verticals, supported by an international distributor network and showrooms in Norway, France and Switzerland. B2C revenue is generated through the Morica Design online store selling dressers, tables, chairs and accessories at unit prices ranging from approximately €197 to €5,514. No external private equity or venture funding has been raised, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
