…This was a saying that apprentices in old joinery workshops in Italy heard over and over. We like to think that the same litany, not so appreciated by youngsters, drove Ugo Pizzi to invent something different. So he founded Pizzi spa in 1958 at Borgosesia. A wonderful region, often underestimated, full of small and medium business, creativity, know-how. Pizzi started off with furniture, a success story, a production with high quality and quantity standards. The need to make more and faster suggested him the idea that glue application could be solved in a different way, applying it in the right spots and most of all in the right quantity. And so, next to the furniture workshop, began the story of Pizzi Divisione Officine, specializing in the design and construction of wood gluing machinery and technology, pumps and application systems that, year after year, became more and more sophisticated, effective, accurate, tailored to all types of applications, wherever you have two pieces of wood to be assembled.
“We come from furniture, we were born with furniture”, remembers Umberto Pizzi, the founder’s son and now head of the company. “The furniture business still brings great satisfaction, but increasing success in the glue application business, combined with deep changes in the furniture world, has changed our vision.Today we only make quality furniture for the high end of the market, for those who do not want products you can find anywhere.We have specialized, we have expanded production to office and kitchen furniture, whereby we are considering to expand the latter even further”.
And what about glue?
“Our gluing systems prove that a successful idea is enough to boost the growth of a company.Today we make a wide range of equipment for all types of glues and applications:nozzles, heads and gluing aggregates that, combined with our systems and our glue dispensers, make gluing a simple, fast, accurate, clean and effective process.
Very useful equipment, used by virtually anyone, also because they require a limited investment.Our portfolio includes three product lines, according to the target, for vinyl, neoprene, ureic and polyurethane glues”, Pizzi continues. “We have basic manual solutions, but our key strength is the offer of standard solutions tailored to customer needs, from extrusion and application systems under pressure up to specific machines to be integrated in high-volume lines.We cooperate with big technology brands and major industrial organizations in the window, kitchen or stair business… generally for all applications where glue must be applied into a small hole or groove.We also happen to manufacture machines for glue application in dowel-inserting operations or dovetail joints for drawers.These are very specific details in a working process, which unfortunately are not taken into due consideration even by the big groups that use the best numerical control centers.
I don’t want to be over presumptuous, but with our history, with our furniture making experience − hence as users of the same equipment as our customers − and with the product range and quality standard we offer, we can say we are a global reference.It’s a “small” product, maybe, but it has taken our brand into an endless number of companies around the world.We export over 90 percent of the systems we make, mostly to Europe.We are recording increasing attention from the United States, Canada, the Middle East, especially in recent years…
Our gluing solutions can be easily integrated into any type of machine or line, starting from window, stair, bottle crates, children bed or garden furniture processing lines; or they can be installed directly downstream of production lines, in assembling departments, as “stand alone” solutions.Two different ways to achieve the same result, namely optimal gluing.Of course, when a “glue cycle” is involved, i.e. a dedicated plant to be integrated into a machine, we study the best solution together with the technology supplier and we supply all the necessary elements”.

is worth more…"
