Customization and versatility in the frame industry: the Cornici Incom case.



Cornici Incom of Vicopisano in the province of Pisa has been producing and selling frames since 1975, in Italy and abroad. The entrepreneurial ability of the owners has immediately set production according to industrial criteria, automating it and constantly updating itself on the best technologies available on the market. Today the company is a reference point, on a local and regional level, for the industry.

Quality and attention for the customer and the supplier, these are the strengths of the company, as illustrated by Matteo Morganti, the Incom's head of production, and confirmed by Davide Cioni, head of the Tuscan store Nuova Sivam.

PRODUCTION AND COATING

The raw material arrives already skewed in the company: it’s mostly pine, fir and ayous wood, coming exclusively from Italian territory (the company is FSC certified) and is placed in the warehouse. Once received, the order is processed according to a processing card that is inserted inside a "production box" in which all the available samples are available that the operator has available to develop the correct cycle.

The production department, which is spread over 5,000 square meters, is completely automated and consists of: hot stamping, two coating lines and two for the division of the rods, hot gilding  and packaging. The rod is first inserted into the molding machine equipped with rollers that are heated and give the shape that the frame must have. 

Once printed, the rod is loaded onto the conveyor belt of the painting lines, which conveys it to the sanding and application phases of the base. After 24 hours of drying, the final layers of coating are applied to the material with the same machine. The standard coating cycle consists of four total hands. Depending on the requests, the rods are then divided by special machinery, hot-gilded automatically or embellished by hand. The supply chain closes with packaging, which is also automated, and includes the boxing.

CONCLUSION


"Thanks to the special effects that we are able to achieve thanks to Nuova Sivam paints - concludes Matteo Morganti - and thanks to the excellent raw material we work, we are also able to include the foreign market among our customers: Europe, Central Asia, Russia and the United States, countries that recognize and appreciate Italian excellence. The handcrafted finishing is another element that identifies the originality and the utmost attention to detail of our work. Thanks to our industrial nature, we are able to be competitive, combining rapid production times and personalization of the single order, also thanks to the collaboration with Nuova Sivam".
