Over the last 40 years, Falmec has evolved from a small artisan business in the Treviso area to being recognised as a major player on the international appliance stage for the production of hoods and related solutions that embrace the world of cooking and air treatment. Falmec ‘s\u00a0strapline, “Life Inspired”, is the perfect description of the philosophy and essence of the company, which has chosen the path of innovation and technological research to improve the quality of life for each of\u00a0us by drawing\u00a0inspiration from life itself.<\/p>\n
The story began\u00a0in 1981 in the main office\u00a0in\u00a0Vittorio Veneto, where Falmec can\u00a0now boast 7 branches\u00a0in Europe (United Kingdom, Poland, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Estonia and Denmark).\u00a0 A number of important\u00a0accolades\u00a0affirm the company’s prestige in Italy and the rest of the world,\u00a0with recent examples including the\u00a0American Good Design Award\u00a0<\/em>and the\u00a0Compasso d’Oro<\/em>, both achieved with the smart and unique Spazio extraction centre. Originating from one\u00a0of the most flourishing areas in north-eastern Italy, the renowned “inox valley” of Veneto, Falmec represents the\u00a0definitive\u00a0structure of both an industrial and\u00a0artisanal\u00a0area of excellence,\u00a0coupled with an expression\u00a0of inimitable\u00a0\u201cMade in Italy \u201ctalent. Falmec maintains an indissoluble connection with the territory, sharing its values and development; in fact, this\u00a0is the reason for the conscious decision\u00a0not to\u00a0move production\u00a0elsewhere\u00a0but instead, to\u00a0avail itself of a local network of highly specialised suppliers and collaborators, whose\u00a0inherent expertise\u00a0is\u00a0incorporated\u00a0into the quality of Falmec products.<\/p>\n As Lorenzo Poser<\/em>, Falmec\u2019s Sales and Marketing Director<\/em>, says: “Falmec’s commitment and responsibility comes from its identity as a family business, its roots in the Italian manufacturing tradition and its conviction that it is possible to grow in a sustainable manner,\u00a0whilst also respecting\u00a0people and the surrounding area\u00a0in order to improve\u00a0the quality of life and air in our homes<\/em>.”<\/p>\n Continuously expanding, the company has also extended its Vittorio Veneto HQ in recent years, with a new plant of around 3000 square metres housing technologically advanced metalworking machinery. Attention to detail is woven intrinsically into Falmec’s DNA, leading the company to collaborate with established designers who have worked alongside the in-house team to create unique and authentically innovative objects where scrupulous attention to detail, and research into new technologies, are fundamental aspects in the design of every single one of its products. This commitment has generated exclusive, patented technologies.\u00a0\u00a0The new Multi-Air, for example, which distributes suction power over several ultra-compact motors on the horizontal surface to guarantee the same suction efficiency but in an extremely small volume; or Circle.Tech, which integrates suction and filtration\u00a0into\u00a0a single unit, using the exclusive Carbon.Zeo<\/em> filters made of natural materials such as carbon and zeolite.<\/p>\n Also highlighted is the unique E.ion System, which uses a sensor to detect all the unwanted pollutants, such as bacteria, dust, noxious fumes, exhaust gases and chemical substances from household cleaning products, by acting on the indoor environment through controlled bipolar ionisation; and the ultra-silent patented Silence NRS technology – developed in collaboration with laboratories specialising in fluid dynamics \u2013 designed specifically to reduce hood noise by up to 86% whilst also ensuring optimal use of power and lower consumption. To overcome the annoying problem of condensation caused by fumes and vapours during cooking, Falmec has also patented the\u00a0No-Drop System featuring\u00a0an intelligent device for collecting and disposing of\u00a0resultant\u00a0condensation particles.<\/p>\n
