Tinto was born in 1977. A small company with a minimum of workers, which did their utmost to survive in that first stage making sofa frames and complements for upholstered furniture. The name comes from the idea contributed by the first members of the company and the result of associate a city which in that moment was more agricultural than industrial, as in this area we could and can find a really good red wine (vino tinto in Spanish), meanwhile the furniture sector was in that moment expecting a strong economic growth. The second stage of Tinto comes into the half of the 80’s and 90’s, when they consolidated and mechanized in the related to the manufacturing process, production and care of the selected materials. From that moment on and motivated by the interest in the design, Tinto opens two shops dedicated to the distribution and sale of products with an avant-garde line, finding there as national as Italian product. However, the change in business strategy made that, motivated by the need to have an exclusive and competitive product in those shops; Tinto starts to manufacture the first pieces with the exclusivity for their shops. In view of the interest of some business in these products, Tinto starts to mass-produce and sells their pieces. This make that at this precise moment, our company have nearly 20.000 m. of installations and a staff of more than 150 direct employees and some others indirect. |
