Company history

For almost eighty years the wood, the absolute raw material of its art, marks the history of Berti.

1910 Cesare Berti was born in Villa del Conte, in the Padua province. When

he was only twelve he was already at work as an apprentice

carpenter. In 1929, he branched out on his own and started a small

carpentry workshop.

1950

Cesare Berti moved his business to a new location, a bigger one. He

purchased a sawmill and for some time he focused on the timber

trade.

1958

Season of great building development: Cesare Berti established the

“IN.PAR. Industria Parchetti”, a company specialized in the

manufacturing and installation of wooden floors. Soon Cesare has to

look for new supplying sources of raw material: as a start, he begins

the import of wood from Hungary.

1971 The new generation steps forward. Cesare Berti and the sons

Giancarlo and Silvano established the “P.B. Parchettificio Berti”,

which since the beginning counts over 100 employees and it is the

first company in the wood industry to employ the computerized lines

for the choice of the wooden floor.

1980 The Company follows the market and the technologies development.

Initially it focuses on the production of design floors, with geometric

patterns inspired by the floorings of the antique mansion houses of

the Veneto region and by other artistic buildings. Afterwards, thanks

to the employment of the laser cut technique, it begins the

manufacturing of innovative inlaid floors.

1987 Vepal S.a.s. was acquired, a Company that established itself during

the years in the Italian market for the manufacturing of melamine-

finished floors and of big size flooring boards.

1992

More innovations. The name of the company was changed to “Berti

Pavimenti Legno”. The employment of the modern laser technology

ensures a very precise hardwood cut, without limits to complexity: it

starts the creation of works of extraordinary prestige, as some floors

of the Kremlin Palace and the accurate reconstruction of the floor at

the Windsor Castle. An exclusive new process was employed,

enabling the production of wooden floor with an aged look: the

“Antique” line was created.

2000/2004 The market takes up toward the pre-finished floor: begins a

changeover of the machineries, with the purchase of four new

manufacturing lines. In 2002, it begins the production of the big size

pre-finished. In 2004 three new machineries for the parquet pre-

finished inlaid wooden floor were purchased.

2005 The construction of the new industrial plant of Berti Pavimenti

Legno Group begins.

2008 Berti finalized the construction of the new self-supporting

warehouse. It contains 12.500 pallet spaces and a warehousing

capacity of 1 million sq. ms of parquet flooring. All the loading and

unloading operations are fully automated, thanks to Hi-tech

hardware and software and the use of four robots moving on rails.

2012

The new water based varnishing system starts working: it’s a 250

meter long lacquering line that allows to produce the whole range of

Berti parquet flooring.

In 2005 the works for the expansion of the new branch started. The project was born from the idea of creating a unique and big complex in which to bring together, both from a productive and from a trade point of view, all

of the three brands of the Group.The entire area extends for 76.000 square meters and the planned buildings

cover a surface of 18.000 square meters. An element of relevance is the automated warehouse for the pallets,

made of an advanced structure with auto-loading shelves. A new generation information system guarantees

the actual managing of the materials, without the need of operators.

The new branch of the firm:

Environment

A DEEP RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Berti Pavimenti Legno uses a considerable quantity of multilayer Birch plywood for the production of the pre-finished floors.

It is indeed for the preservation of the environment, for a deep respect of Mother-Nature which constantly provides the

material, that the company has chosen to select among its suppliers of birch plywood only the ones with the FSC

certification (Forest Stewardship Council).

FSC is a no-profit organization of the Pan-European Forest Certification Council, involved in the certification system for the

sustainable forest management. All the products marked with the FSC label, are certified as coming from forests that

respect the Principles and Criteria of proper forest management, and by the maintenance of the ‘Chain of Custody’

Certification.

The “endorsement of forest certification” is an inspection procedure that allows a company to issue a document proving

that the forms of woodland management meet particular requirements and criteria of environmental sustainability.

The application of the rules contained into the FSC certification scheme certifies that the Group, using only raw materials

coming from European forests managed in an eco-sustainable way, gives a contribution to the safeguard of the forest

ecosystems. - See more at: http://en.berti.net/company/environment#sthash.3ABgvRnh.dpuf

Entrepreneurial commitment and social sensibility.

THE CHARITY ORGANISATION "MOTHER TERESA".

Berti Pavimenti Legno is a company aware of social issues and works towards social responsibility. “Mother Teresa” is the

demonstration, a constructive and social charity organisation founded on the awareness of the importance of human dignity, providing

through voluntary work and a number of initiatives both financial and moral aid to the weaker groups in our society.

Motivating and supporting local government to develop policies aimed at providing aid to the needy; supporting distance adoption

programmes and missionary work; promoting fair trade: these are just some examples of how this Charity Organisation operates and

which is aimed at above all at residents living in the local area, local authorities and who works towards increasing solidarity, building

DESCRIPTION OF PRE-FINISHED MULTI-LAYER The word pre-finished multi-layers generally means a series of wood elements consisting of more layers, manufactured with

tongue-and-groove joints on the sides, previously calibrated, sanded and lacquered before installation.

Pre-finished strong points :

 Highly innovative product;

 Supporting layer, that maintain the floor perfect;

 High properties of durability and hardness;

 Absolute quality of the manufacturing;

 Specific surface finish;

 Great aesthetic value and extremely natural effect.

BIRCH PLYWOOD

HARDWOOD LAYER

Page 12: Berti Business presentation ENG

HIGH RESISTANCE LACQUERING

Berti pre-finished floors are supplied already

lacquered.

The peculiar finishing technique of the hardwood top layer consists

of:

  6 primer coats for the pre-finished LUX applied with the roller (about

200 grams per square meter), followed by a curtain coat finishing (about

100 grams per square meter)

  4 primer coats for the pre-finished ANTICO applied with the roller

(about 140 grams per square meter), followed by a curtain coat finishing

(about 80 grams per square meter)

  4 primer coats for the pre-finished BASIC applied with the roller (about

140 grams per square meter), followed by a curtain coat finishing (about 80

grams per square meter).

This guarantees the product with an outstanding hardness and wear

resistance, making the floor practically eternal. The drying of the

lacquer in special UV Rays ovens makes the Berti pre-finished a

functional floor and ready to walk over just after the installation.

Berti wooden floors, finished with water based lacquer, are

environmentally friendly: they can boast a 95% reduction of toxic

emissions, in comparison with a common solvent based lacquer,

maintaining in the meantime a high professional quality level.

PROFILING

The profiling of each element is carried out through very

advanced diamond tools which guarantee the perfect cut of

the planks.

It is indeed for this reason that Berti pre-finished planks profiles

do not appear with any ledges and roughness marks, typical of the

imperfect cuts.The tongue-and-groove of the birch plywood

support in manufactured with the same profiling technique. In

this way it is possible to obtain high precision joints for a perfect

assembling of the wooden elements and a flatness of the floor.
