An Italian company with an 80-year history
It was May 1, 1945, when, near the medieval walls of Marostica (VI), in an old hat factory, Walter Viaro and Francesco Gusi founded Vimar. Today, 80 years later, we celebrate the cultural heritage of a company that has gone through all the changes in electrification and has always worked to offer wiring accessories series, solutions and integrated systems.
Strategic partner with a global approach, it boasts 9 commercial companies on the international scene, 1,300 collaborators and over 15,000 items in the catalogue protected by over 200 patents filed. Vimar produces 90% in Italy of which 80% is produced in its 4 factories in the Marostica area. “Made in Italy” means creativity, competence, innovation, tradition, attention, and dedication. A “production vision” awarded the prestigious Marchio Storico, which has involved the entire company supply chain for 80 years.
Investing in the new Logistics and Production Hub is the emblem of a long-term growth idea designed according to the most advanced environmental sustainability criteria. Qualitative excellence combines the value of know-how with a deep love for innovation and design, rewarded by the many awards received internationally. Each light point integrates perfectly into the project as a real piece of furniture. Plates and switches from the Eikon, Linea, Arké, Plana and Idea wiring accessories series fit into all environments to meet any need.
Simple and accessible innovation in technology is another feature to be emphasized. In the wide range of smart home solutions, the company offers intelligent products and interconnected systems for home & building automation, climate and energy management and control, video door entry systems and CCTV video surveillance, a complete and integrated package of services, with particular attention to the territory and the environment.
Responsible production processes and eco-design: sustainability is a commitment to the future. For that reason, has been following a tailor-made approach to a circular model aimed at minimizing consumption and promoting the internal recovery, on average, of 97% of the produced waste. In addition, the new Linea series is the first wiring accessories series in the world to use ISCC PLUS-certified plastics, a recognition that ensures the traceability and sustainability of raw materials, components and final products in the supply chain. Therefore, looking to the future, it has been decided to increase the use of renewable sources for the well-being of people and the territory.
In addition to the continuous attention to its employees, with professional and personal growth programs, the commitment to the community is also realized through projects in collaboration with schools and universities to encourage the training of young talents.
Staying in Marostica with an international vision, this is the solid and innovative factory model that we want to tell the world, celebrating Vimar and its 80 years of “positive energy”.
