QUALITY ACCESSORIES FOR LUXURY PLEASURE YACHTS
Brainchild of the father of the current owners, the company was founded to provide the nautical sector with quality artisan experience acquired in processing steel for the building industry, and since the eighties has successfully evolved, rapidly achieving an important position on the market.
The most prestigious shipyards, the crowning achievement of “made in Italy” products throughout the world, have for some time worked in synergy with the Seriate-based company, where they evidently find the necessary qualities of precision, reliability in respecting delivery times and, most importantly, highly technological components, because the technological aspect of tecnoinox products is fundamental in explaining the success of the company.
The choice of material – only AISI 316 stainless steel – the development of production phases, the choice of machinery and the excellent qualifications of the workers are the tools through which superior quality is achieved. The capacity to work in harmony with the technical offices of customers’ shipyards and the ability to correctly interpret their needs and desires are the bases without which it would have been extremely difficult to achieve and above all consolidate such significant results.
Another important aspect of the production philosophy of tecnoinox is the way in which, from the very beginning, the organisation of work has been planned: a mentality that is perfectly balanced between superior craftsmanship and industrial vision, able to make the most of the positive aspects of both.
The various work phases are divided into medium-small units, headed by a manager with vast experience. In this way an optimal work environment is created in which specific knowledge in a particular field is supported by the sharing of general production principles.
In other words, employees are always aware of the importance that their work segment holds within the complex mechanism that leads to quality.
It is precisely this search for high quality, together with a working method that is positioned halfway between industrial and artisan, which has been the catalyst that has enabled the company to grow over the years without fearing competition and achieve an excellent market position.
An important concept in the philosophy, inherited from the father, on which the current owners have founded their company, is that of seeing the person at the centre of production, whether this is effectively linked to the manual ability of the operator, still very present at tecnoinox, or whether assisted by sophisticated CNC machinery. The exemplary doctrine left by the founder, of respect and valorisation of people, remains the guiding principle for the choices made by his son and daughter who, although they have introduced new technology and media for designing and production, today guide the company while maintaining their father’s ideology. Younger workers receive meticulous training which, over a period of about two years, ensures they learn techniques and know-how acquired over time from older workers in a continuous process of transfer of skills and knowledge.
Manual skills are constantly handed down, together with the principles of respect for the work performed and valorisation of human capital and all that hands, magnificent and perfect tools without equal, can and are able to create. The same passion is found in relationships with the customer, which, as already mentioned, is an extremely important aspect.
When the idea behind a product comes from the customer, it is compared with the point of view of the manufacturer and assisted by technical experience. Since this relationship is based on mutual respect (and tecnoinox has earned respect by its achievements), the results cannot be anything but excellent. Evident proof that this method works is the high level of customer loyalty towards the company, whose portfolio contains very few occasional customers.
Tecnoinox has designed some of the most interesting windscreens ever made from an aesthetic, functional and technological viewpoint.
The pièce de résistance of production, in terms of qualitative and engineering features, are its curved automatic sliding doors, designed and produced exclusively for the sector and for nautical use, and the result of a slow evolution, created and studied over time.
The latest line of portholes was developed as a result of customers’ requests. They are obviously constructed to the same high standards as the other products, with the same high technological content (the details of the opening and locking mechanisms are proof of this) and innovative appearance, aimed at “refreshing” designs currently available on the market, which have remained unchanged for some time. These portholes are just another piece in the overall picture which has transformed a small family-run company into a sound industrial business, always with passion, professionalism and equilibrium.
