Company Profile
History
V
ALPAINT was officially founded in 1988 and became a public
limited company (S.p.A.) in 2004, though its origins date back to
1974 when Ferdinando Sarti – the company’s current President
– started a small business specialising in the production of
paints.
Nowadays, Mr. Sarti is flanked by his son Stefano and his daughter Stefania,
who have taken up some important responsibilities regardless of their young
age. Stefano and Stefania, who work in the Sales and Marketing Department
and Accounts Department respectively, bring a dose of dynamism coupled
with a spirited desire for entrepreneurial success. The year 2013 is a particularly
important one for the company, as it celebrates its 25th Anniversary.

T
Head Office
he current headquarters, located
in Polverigi (province of Ancona,
Italy), were recently constructed
according to advanced design and
functionality criteria.
They span over 20,000 m2, including an
overall covered area of 4,000 m2, and are due
to be enlarged to double their surface area in
the near future.
Currently, some 1,500 m2 are reserved for
the Production Department, 1,500 m2 for
the Finished Products and Raw Materials
Warehouse while the remaining 1,000 m2 are
occupied by offices.
The company employs some 50 people
excluding the sales agents.

Second Factory
T
he 2nd VALPAINT plant is located in Tunisia - precisely in Zaghouan,
some 70 km from Tunis. Since 2001 it has been producing the same
decorative paints with identical technical features and unaltered quality
standards, in addition to a traditional paints range which is highly popular
in those densely built-up areas.
The plant is a strategic one for the Group as it was set up with the aim of
serving North African and Eastern European countries. The annual production
of the Group (Italy and Tunisia) exceeds 2.5 million litres of decorative
paints, in addition to certain products reserved for other sectors.
T
he VALPAINT brand is present in Europe and worldwide in several countries, with
either branches or companies belonging to the Group; these include:
VALPAINT ESPANA S.L. - Barcellona - Spagna
VALPAINT DESIGN D.O.O.
- VALPAINT ESPANA S.L. - Barcelona - Spain

Performance In The Current Italian Market
The Company’s Environmental Policy
V
ALPAINT S.p.A. is currently ranked
among the 5 most important
manufacturers in the italian market.
the company’s market share in
italy hovers around 10% to 12%
in italy, VALPAINT markets its products through
a network comprising over 400 dealers and
distributors, backed by an extensive sales
network.
T
he fast-paced growth of our economy, with its
high degree of industrialisation, has generated a
significant degree of pollution.
Safeguarding the environment and our quality of
life have therefore become chief priorities.
For this reason, VALPAINT has equipped itself with
a Quality and Environment Management System
aimed at improving its efficiency, while providing
an increasingly reliable service to partners and
8
guaranteeing quality levels that can be verified over time.
This document is used:
- Internally within the company for the system’s operational
management, alongside the Procedures, Operating Instructions
and Forms.
- Externally for demonstrating to the interested parties the
conformity of the Quality and Environment Management System
to the applicable laws and regulations, namely
ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004.
The company boasts a strong presence in CentralSouthern Italy, and is particularly successful in the
Campania and Puglia regions, while it also records
a significant growth in Northern Italy through
specialised dealers. The Italian market is the most
difficult context, owing to the highly-qualified
competitors and consumer tastes which tend to
prefer refined objects of high-quality.
