Camar

What Camar does

Camar S.p.A. is an Italian designer and manufacturer of precision furniture hardware, founded in 1960 and headquartered in Figino Serenza, Como, Italy. The company produces levellers, plinth legs, hanging brackets for wall units and base cabinets, panel hanging brackets, shelf supports, table legs, and integrated hardware systems for furniture OEMs. Its technology emphasis is on concealed and invisible mounting solutions, anti-dislodgement safety systems for suspended cabinets, and adjustable levelling mechanisms, with proprietary product lines including the MINIMO shelf support, NEXUM concealed levelling and connection fittings, Smile System next-generation plinth legs, 807/807 XL hanging brackets, Art. 316 leveller, and a 3D anti-dislodgement system. The company's differentiation is built around aesthetic concealment (hardware that disappears into premium furniture), installer-friendly adjustment (no-drill hex-key access, interchangeable mounting), and safety (clamping-action anti-fall brackets recognized globally).

Camar operates a direct B2B sales model, serving furniture manufacturers, kitchen cabinet producers, and furniture designers/specifiers on a worldwide basis, with specification-driven, quote-based pricing. Marketing is conducted primarily through the company website, supported by Google Analytics and Google AdWords. The firm is privately held as an Italian S.p.A. (Società per Azioni) with a paid-in share capital of €1,530,000 and headcount in the 101-250 band; no external investment, M&A activity, or public listing is disclosed. Recent strategic activity has centered on product renewal rather than expansion through M&A or capital raising, with multiple distinct product platforms introduced between 2021 and 2024.
