CHT Srl: Experience, future and passion
Our story
Yesterday
The company was founded in the 50's as a producer of components for both kitchens and furniture in general. During the 70's the company have started the development of the laminate hot-bending technology, also known as “postforming” technology. At the end of the 80's, the company is the biggest Italian producer of components for the furniture industry, which was booming at the time. Unfortunately, during the next 10 years, the real estate field experienced a strong crisis, which affected also the furniture producers. In December 1999, the former shareholders of the company decided to dismiss it and sold it to the actual owners.
Today
Since beginning of the year 2000, the company has undertaken a deep modification, made through important investments, made during the years, and still ongoing. In the last decade, CHT has changed from being a producer of many different components for the furniture industry, mainly in chipboard, to a specialized manufacturer of mainly horizontal elements, such as worktops, tabletops and shelves, made with chipboard, multiply wood, and since 2023, also with the eco-panel Greengridz®, and veneered with HPL or CPL laminates, Fenix or similar, etc.. Thanks to its technology and process layout, CHT is able to supply all the products both with industrial specifications, as well as in Just in time mode.

Project
Cht, thanks to the big production capacity as well as to its high level of flexibility, is able to produce specific orders, for the “projects” market, the HORECA customers, public offices or bids, or private ones, always made with the same high features and quality
Environment
Since 20 years, CHT invests continuously on environment and ecology, with a steady renovation of the machinery and production lines, allowing a progressive reduction of the CO2 emissions. Also suppliers are selected, not only in terms of quality of the product supplied, but also according to the production process used as well as the origin of the raw materials.
Circular Economy
The future goal for CHT is to create a total circularity of its products, ensuring both sustainability in the production phase, through the use of materials of certified origin, with longer life of use, lower weight and consequent increase in transportable volumes with the same CO2 emissions.
At the end of its life cycle, every product sold during the years, will be recycled or disposed, in the more eco-friendly and convenient way.
Moreover, always aiming to improve the future environment, CHT cooperates with companies which are promoting CO2 reduction, by using renewable energy resources, low-polluting production processes, transportation made with “green” means, etc..
