A comment from Claudio Luti, President of the Salone del Mobile, on the news of Haworth’s takeover of a 58.6% stake in Poltrona Frau S.p.A. from shareholders Charme Investments and Moschini S.r.l.
“I think this is good news for the sector and for the country’s economy, because it shows that solid, well-managed leading companies are capable of developing synergies at global level and attracting useful foreign capital for further growth strategies. It sends an important signal of confidence in the development of our specialist manufacturing skills. It is crucial both that production should remain in Italy and that the consistently high quality of our products be maintained.”
The Charme Group will be taking part in the Salone del Mobile with its Poltrona Frau, Cassina and Cappellini brands, proof of the trade fair’s international benchmark role in the furnishing and design sectors.
