Artigianvetro was established in 1985 as a small artisan store, in San Severino Marche, Italy, by Graziano Marcantonelli. With a workbench and a few tools, he laid the foundations of a business destined to grow rapidly. A few years later his younger brother Daniele joined him, thus strengthening the team and consolidating the company.
In the mid-1990s, with the introduction of the first cutting benches, the washing machine and the first Forel flatbed press, investments are made that automate much of the production, guaranteeing ever greater precision and quality.
In 2012, following a new location change, Artigianvetro decides to invest again in innovation together with Forel with a new insulating glass line installed with two important innovations: vertical grinding machine and automatic flexible profile applicator, among the first plants in Italy.
In 2023, Artigianvetro is ready for a Jumbo Line. “The decision to invest in a new Jumbo Line matured during 2022, following analysis of market trends that indicated a growing demand for larger glazing and faster delivery times. After a careful study phase with Forel, a long-standing partner known for its ability to innovate, we looked at several options to expand our production capacity,” Nicola Marcantonelli, Graziano’s son and current Production Manager, said. ”Considering we have seen this company always look ahead and grow in small steps, the choice of a new Jumbo line was dictated by the desire to take one more step forward to offer our customers a larger size that we were previously unable to produce.”
Artigianvetro is a story of growth and expansion that has rewarded resourcefulness, transforming a small village glassworks into a leading industrial vanguard on the national scene, able to differentiate production between residential and commercial insulating glass, now also in large sizes and thicknesses. An industrial vanguard that remains with an artisan soul.
The partnership with Forel has certainly been a turning point for Artigianvetro, allowing the company to introduce cutting-edge technologies and optimize its production processes. Thanks to this partnership, Artigianvetro looks to the future with optimism, ready to face new challenges and seize the opportunities offered by a constantly evolving market. The goal is to consolidate its leading position in the area, continuing to invest in order to offer its customers products and services of the highest quality.
