The opening of the premises at Viale della Repubblica in Scandiano (RE) to house the offices, show rooms and integrated production of wood, metal and plastic parts in its 13,000 sm of covered space. The quality of the hand finished production was guaranteed by the skilled, local workforce. Product diversification was clearly one of the company's strengths: function and rationality on the one side, cosmetic appearance on the other. Great success for the "Mosaico" washunit. The unmistakable Maletti look evolved from Industrial Design to Interior Design. Noris Maletti's entrepreneurial spirit opened new horizons for the company which progres-sed from its beginnings as a small company and became a manufacturer on an industrial scale.
