Productive Network
The best companies and craftspeople for each technological
sector underpin Artemide’s production network: Artemide strongly
believes in the quality resulting from Made in Italy production
chains and entrusts production to certified subcontractors who
represent the excellence of the Italian modus operandi throughout
the world. In addition to yielding considerable energy savings in the
transport of goods, their proximity makes it possible to constantly
monitor the quality level of the products.
The choice to involve local suppliers limits transport distances and
allows the creation of a solid network that fosters innovation and
design culture. Partnerships are created with selected suppliers;
the expertise of designers allows constructive dialogue to be
established with external companies for the development of
increasingly advanced solutions.
Artemide's production process involves the use of pre-assembled
components and, to a lesser extent, raw materials. This makes
selected suppliers and subcontractors a key part of the value
chain and for this reason, relationships with suppliers looked after
and nurtured over time.
Artemide mainly uses aluminium, steel, plastic and glass as
raw materials for production. It also sources basic electrical
components and light sources from some of the world's leading
manufacturers.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group's costs for raw materials
and components accounted for 19.4% of total costs, compared to
17.8% in 2019. This expenditure resulted from the use of 2,966 tons
of materials for the production and packaging processes in 2020,
which are to be distinguished, as of last year, between renewable
and non-renewable materials – 28.2% and 71.8% respectively.
