Stosa Kitchens is an industrial concern which has been producing and distributing fitted kitchens since 1964. Its reference market has always been Italy, where it has strongly promoted the kitchen as a product, earning itself an excellent image and placing within the top ten Italian producers and in the leading positions among Tuscan manufacturers. In 1996 the company began to move into the international market, presenting reference models which are now very successful and occupy a space which underscores Stosa¹s entrepreneurial capacity for development and future prospects, in search of new opportunities. The production activity is oriented towards creating classic and modern designer kitchens with tried and tested construction techniques, characterised by an excellent price-quality ratio. Proof of this came in January 2001, when (along with the opening of a new production area of about 4000 mq) a new, high technology work centre was opened to further rationalise and industrialise kitchen furnishings. Evolution. Communicating your personal identity means making a company reality coincide with the perception of the operators, the market and the end user. Stosa evolves and traces its guidelines: “industrial culture and project culture”. Elements which identify the thoughts, life and work of a company. The evolved production process enables us to manufacture top quality kitchens with numerous variants in terms of taste and functional requirements at competitive prices. In 1987 the ISO (International Standard Organization) perfected a series of regulations for the development of Quality Systems that quickly became the reference model for companies sensitive to issues related to quality and the organisation of production. These regulations led to the creation of the ISO 9000 standards. Standard number 9001, chosen by Stosa, is the most complete in setting rules for all the phases that regard industrial activity. For Stosa, complying with ISO 9001 means facing the market with a new kind of competitiveness, both now and in the long term. Observance of ISO 9001 ensures not only the quality of the company’s work, but also, and most importantly, it provides Dealers and Customers with a guarantee that every product bearing the Stosa name offers extra certainty: the quality resulting from constantly improving work. Stosa s.p.a. uses industrial production systems and certified materials that create no environmental imbalances, in observance of the standards restricting emissions of noxious substances. The structural parts that form the kitchens are made with 100% recycled wood materials guaranteed by the “Pannello Ecologico” mark.
