Dott.gallina

What Dott.gallina does

Dott.gallina (legal name: dott. Gallina) is an Italian privately held specialty manufacturer of polycarbonate building systems, founded in 1960 by PierAulo Gallina in Turin's industrial district. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of multiwall, solid, and corrugated polycarbonate sheets plus modular interlocking, connector, and overlapping panel systems marketed under brands including PoliCarb, PoliComp, arcoPlus, arcoWall, TegoPlus, TegoLUX, and Velario. Manufacturing is conducted at the headquarters and primary production facility in La Loggia (near Turin), Italy, with full in-house design and fabrication of the extrusion production lines. Differentiated offerings include Arcopure (a photocatalytic surface treatment for air pollution reduction), co-extruded functional treatments (UV protection, photocatalysis), and custom color/finish matching, supported by thermal performance claims of U-values as low as 0.4 W/m²K and thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 60mm.

The company's go-to-market is a direct sales-led motion targeting architects, builders, contractors, and developers on building projects across multiple use cases — continuous roofing, canopies, skylights, greenhouses, suspended ceilings, translucent and ventilated facades, infill walls, windows, and interior partitions. Pricing is custom quotation-based with multi-year contracts, and the company maintains localized websites for the USA, Germany, and Turkey alongside the primary Italian market. Reference projects include the MEETT exhibition center in Toulouse (designed by OMA/Rem Koolhaas), IL CENTRO Arese shopping mall in Milan, Collège Rosa Luxembourg in France, and Santucci industrial plant. Marketing reaches specifiers through industry trade shows (Batimat, Architect @ Work), architectural press (THE PLAN, IO ARCH), BIM object libraries, and professional networks (Archilovers).

Dott.gallina is privately held and remains under founder/family control with no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no public ticker. Certifications include Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), ISO 45001 occupational health and safety (Intertek), and EPSE Quality Label. Strategic activity over 2022-2024 has centered on product launches (Arcopure, REINFORCED corrugated panel, arcoPlus FastFit Module, updated PoliComp) and sustained regional market coverage rather than acquisitions or capital raises.

Core offering

Dott.gallina designs, manufactures, and sells polycarbonate sheets and modular building systems for architectural and construction applications. The product portfolio spans multiwall sheets, solid sheets, interlocking panels, connector systems, overlapping corrugated panels, and corrugated sheets, used for continuous roofing, canopies, skylights, greenhouses, suspended ceilings, translucent and ventilated facades, infill walls, windows, and interior partitions. The company also offers the proprietary Arcopure photocatalytic surface treatment and custom color/finish services.

Product overview

Dott.gallina offers a comprehensive portfolio of polycarbonate sheets and modular building systems for architectural and construction applications. The product lineup centers around three main sheet types (Multiwall, Solid, and Corrugated) that form the foundation, which are then configured into six distinct system architectures (Interlocking Systems, Connector Systems, Overlapping Systems, and Corrugated Sheets). The core branded product lines include PoliCarb® (multiwall sheets with 5-wall and 7-wall variants), GreenPoli (sustainable multiwall), PoliComp® (solid sheets), Scudo Pro (solid sheets), and the extensive arcoPlus® system family (covering interlocking panels like arcoWall®, connector/U-channel systems, and overlapping corrugated panels), along with TegoPlus® and TegoLUX® corrugated sheets. The arcoPlus® series is notable for its breadth, with multiple thickness ranges (8-40mm connector systems, 10-60mm interlocking systems), reversible variants, and specialized applications like the VT facade system and FastFit Module. Value-added offerings include Arcopure (photocatalytic surface treatment for air pollution reduction), Surface Treatments (co-extruded functional coatings), and Colors & Finishes (custom color matching). The systems are designed for applications spanning continuous roofing, canopies, skylights, greenhouses, suspended ceilings, translucent and ventilated facades, infill walls, windows, sheds, and interior partitions.
