Manetti Design

What Manetti Design does

Manetti Design is the operating brand of Giusto Manetti Battiloro S.p.A., a privately-held Italian specialty manufacturer headquartered in Campi Bisenzio (Florence) that designs and produces decorative foil films for interior design and industrial furniture production. Its commercial roots extend back to 1820 Florence gold-leaf manufacturing for artistic decoration, with the modern decorative foil business established in 1970. The firm employs 51–100 people and operates an integrated portfolio of hot stamping foils for PVC, PS, MDF, and wood substrates; lamination foils for ABS, PVC, fiberglass, HPL, and CPL edges and profiles; and plastic films in PET, PP, and PVC.

The portfolio is differentiated by deep in-house customization of thickness, tonality, and final effect across what the company reports as more than 200 colors and finishes and 738+ distinct product SKUs. Differentiated product lines include the Deep super-matt metallized foil family, ASA-based Soft Matt solid colors with anti-fingerprint properties, the Embo embossed wrapping foil system launched in November 2024, and the FSC-certified Goldenfold decorative papers with no heavy metals or detectable solvents. Since November 2025, Manetti Design is also the official European distributor of KCC Glass Corporation's RAL-certified KCC Exterior Foil line for windows, doors, and garage doors with 10–20 year durability warranties. Materials comply with REACH and RHOS regulations.

Revenue is generated through B2B direct sales to furniture manufacturers and contract interior designers, supplemented by wholly-owned subsidiaries in Poland (Manetti Design Sp. z.o.o.) and Spain (Manetti Battiloro Ibérica S.L.), a regional sales partner for Southern Italy (Starfoils), and exclusive distribution partners in the United States (Tech Mark Inc, Arkansas) and Brazil (Mp do Brasil). The go-to-market motion is consultative and event-driven, with a four-fair annual presence at SICAM, Interzum, WinDoor-Tech, and Superfaces aimed at architects, designers, and furniture producers. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed rates, and the firm does not disclose revenue figures.
