Sitland's story is one of a successful Italian industry that has been able to combine a typical Italian know-how with the most innovative industrial and technological processes. This story began and developed in Vicenza, the city of Palladio in the heart of the Veneto region, where the territory is the main character of many successful stories and has generated world famous art and products. Passion and dedication. These are the keywords that have defined the company since 1977. These 45 years of history led Sitland, specialised in upholstery for the seats and sleeping cabins of Italian trains, to the production of chairs for hairdressing salons, before starting a new path in the office chair industry in 1987. Creativity and research. In 1996, with the release of Ouverture, the company changed rhythm and finds new energy. This opens a new era of technology and design, combined with ergonomics and aesthetics, where Sitland plays a leading role on the international scene thanks to quality, research and innovation. The catalogue has been increasingly enriched over the years with new products: armchairs, task chairs and modular system. Constant research of balance between individual needs and cutting-edge technology where the human being is the origin and ultimate goal of every creation. Commitment and creativity have long characterised the company and have led to the creation of sofas, armchairs, chairs and desk chairs which feature great designs, ergonomics and state-of-the-art technology, accompanied by the highest level of craftsmanship to perfect every minor aspect, from the finishings to the coatings and the processing stages. This attention to detail has long set Sitland apart from its competitors within the global chair manufacturing landscape. The new contract solutions include products which feature high-quality industrial tailoring with an eye to the latest fashions and trends, and a selection of coatings which include neutral, elegant colours, light hints of colour, dichotomies in precious fabrics, precious skins, and woven materials, all from the most highly-acclaimed suppliers on a global scale, including the likes of Kvadrat, Gabriel and Camira. Sergio Bellin, president of the company says that “the launch of the new contract catalogue marks a very important milestone for Sitland as it puts into practice the experience and know-how of almost 40 years of passion in the business. From today onwards, our mission will be to convey the value of the Sitland brand to the world by committing even more so to the growth of a beautiful, state-of-the-art company, which pays attention to people and the environment”. The company has started to follow a Lean Production, with a view to minimising waste and increasing the quality of the products and services; this is also achieved by making important investments in machinery and technology. Sitland is certified by TUV, ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004. The latter attests to the attention and care Sitland displays towards the environment in terms of eco-compatibility, adopting a policy which aims to reduce waste and have low environmental impact. Finally, Sitland confirms its international vocation through its presence in over 81 countries around the world.
