18_COMPANY-PROF-NEW2024_IT+UK+FR - STAMPA SETTEMBRE

The Bertolotto Group was founded producing internal doors, in 1987, in Barge, Cuneo, from an idea of Attilio Bertolotto, the current Chairman. In 1995, when his son Claudio joined the company, the company moved to Torre San Giorgio, Cuneo, with its first factory. Claudio Bertolotto, the current CEO, gives continuity to the growth started by his father, a growth that takes place both through the creation and acquisition of other companies located in Brescia and Piacenza, and through the achievement of a group turnover of 94 million in the year 2022. The acquisition in December 2020 of Gardesa S.p.A armoured doors in Cortemaggiore, Piacenza, made it possible to combine two related products: the interior door and the security door. The last major acquisition this year was Connecticut, a company that is now one of Italy’s leading industrial companies specialised in the design and production of interior doors for public areas. In the same year, Bertolotto France was founded and CLF Portes Design was acquired. Commercially, the sales networks can unite, under the various brands, several products at the same time, aiming at the total aesthetic look in interior design, providing matching finishes and aesthetic lines. To date, there are over 130 patents on system, opening, design and accessories. The market in which the group now operates is global: not only Italy, but also abroad with 2 offices, 1 in France and 1 in the United States, brand diversity, 9 brands, distribution diversification, 6 sales channels. The sales channels are aimed at the end user through showrooms, window and door dealers, the construction channel, large-scale distribution, e-commerce, as well as the contract and hotel world. By 2022, the group becomes the first in Italy in terms of turnover in the interior door sector, and the third in the armoured door sector. The industrial project has changed over time and, over the last 15 years, has increasingly focused on bringing production, which was previously outsourced, in-house. This was done to provide a solution to the considerable logistical difficulties associated with the province of Cuneo, due to its distance from places such as the provinces of Monza and Brianza and Pesaro, or the regions of Veneto and Friuli, where there are large industrial districts for the processing and transformation of wood or semi-finished products for the furniture and door sector. —7
