description Luxy Srl
LUXY is an Italian parent company specialized in the manufacture of high quality contract and office seating of its own design and brand. The product offering is articulated in ergonomic and task seating, executive and managerial chairs, sofas and loungers, canteen as well as stackable chairs. The LUXY collection is upholstered in high quality fabrics, leathers and specialized materials.
Founded in the early 1980's by Sisto Marchesini e Luciana Tezze, as a manufacturer of office seating, its major leap forward is at the end of the 90's as the second generation assumes control of the company. LUXY becomes established as one of the Italy's premier high design seating manufacturers thanks to a strategy of brand strengthening and with the introduction of highly designed product lines, that bear testament to the attention given to quality, cost-efficiency, ease of assembly, and environmental responsibility.
Having reached a significant scale of business the three young siblings search for a financial partner with whom to share the entrepreneurial risk and to attract the necessary managerial resources for planned growth. In 2004 the ideal partner is found in the Cape Natexis Equity Private Equity Fund. Cape Natexis Fund is a closed investment fund run by Natixis-Cape S.G.R. S.p.A, specialized in investing in medium sized companies in Northern Italy.
LUXY's management is entrusted to the specific qualities of those that have spear-headed its growth, the second generation Marchesini: Cinzia marketing and sales, Gianluca finance and product strategy, Otello manufacturing and industrial operations, guided by the design and creative leadership of Stefano Getzel, as Director of Design.
LUXY has positioned its products in the more demanding A&D market sectors, addressing the rationalization of industrial costs, constant product development, with an openness towards specific client requirements, after sales client service, guaranteeing a product offering that is conformant to international safety and ergonomic standards. The product strategy that has generated its collection, presiding distribution channels less exposed to price driven competition, and the continuous enrichment of its product range with new ideas, new product lines and variants has allowed LUXY not only to contrast the general downturn of the market in the last 10 years, but to post a consolidated median growth rate of more than 20%.
Today LUXY has a turnover of over $ 23.4 million and is a 9001: 2000 quality control certified company. It distributes its products in Italy and in over 43 countries worldwide through a varied network of agents, importers, representatives, and independent dealers. To sustain and reinforce its constant growth LUXY has a constant investment in R&D, the expansion of its management team, and the strengthening of its commercial and distributive services.
