Arnaldo Manini
Every architectural building must enrich the territory, not usurp it, and beauty has an educational value, capable of developing virtuous actions in the community. This is the inspiring philosophy with which Manini Prefabbricati approaches its creations… The sought-after beauty of our buildings is not “the result of chance”, but the fruit of all the attention we place in the meticulous distinction of details, in the choice of finishing particulars, in the composition of lines and shapes. The structure, in its complexity, lives on exact proportions and perfect balance between geometric rationality and creative flair, like any form of art, to which we at Manini are very sensitive…
A current idea of culture starts from awareness and pride in one’s own history in order to embrace different cultural systems that necessarily coexist in our era of great complexity. At Manini Prefabbricati, we are conscious of our identity: we know where we come from, we have treasured the experience gained in almost 60 years of activity, and with this baggage, we have the tools to consciously live in the present and fearlessly lean towards the future.
The founding technical culture (the “know-how”) at Manini immediately embraced the design culture (the “knowing how to see”) and entrepreneurial culture (the “knowing how to dare”), but has never neglected the culture of the territory and landscape that welcomes our work…
At Manini Prefabbricati, we cultivate innovation as a “family trait”, a sort of company “guiding spirit”: not only are we unafraid of novelty, originality, and invention, but all our actions and energies are directed towards experimenting and innovating, through continuous research into new materials and studies aimed at improving building performance. Thanks to an internal Research Development that collaborates closely with the factory on one side and the sales force on the other, the multiplicity of solutions offered to Customers is a source of pride for us, not a management problem. Every particular need is examined and studied so that the final proposal is as close as possible to what the Customer actually needs or has always desired and never dared to ask from one of our competitors.
We are firmly committed to the correspondence between what we believe in and our way of operating, transporting the inspiring principles and values from our factories to our market relationships with Customers and Suppliers. It is precisely this professional consistency that makes us better understand our social responsibilities, to build our commitment to rectitude, in full compliance with regulations, safety procedures, and workers’ rights. After all, our greatest successes over the years are due to our loyalty to these foundations, on which we build and strengthen our reputation every day…
Despite Manini Prefabbricati’s ‘family’ having grown to the size of a medium-large Italian company with nearly 300 employees, speed of action remains a distinctive trait of our corporate style and personality. For us, speed means energy, agility, and ‘short’ decision-making processes, qualities that inevitably combine with a flexible and innovation-inclined way of operating. The rapidity with which we perceive new avenues for experimentation and dare to embark on new paths is a value that has allowed us to ride changes throughout our history, but also to address a problem, analyze it, evaluate alternative solutions, measure their impacts, and adopt the most efficient responses…
The result of Manini Prefabbricati’s work is not an aseptic product built on a territory seen as pure use value, but a building with a purpose, a social utility, a population of users who live in a territory understood as exchange value, functional to a new production model and attentive to the quality of present and future life. We do not want to hand over to our children an environment worse than the one we received, rather at Manini Prefabbricati we are professionally committed to conservation, care, and environmental recovery through increasingly intelligent buildings, with a ‘green animus’, capable of enhancing a community and giving back to nature what we apparently usurp through urban cementation. At Manini, technology and love for the environment go hand in hand…
The growth and success of the Manini Prefabbricati S.p.A. Group are based on an effective implementation of the key principles of the Company Policy, a document defined by the General Management, shared and disseminated by Management, applied at all decision-making and operational levels with the full involvement of the workforce and in compliance with quality, environmental and safety requirements and standards.
