The result of all this has been to develop three divisions “RONCATO DOORS”, “RONCATO COLLECTION” and “RONCATO GALLERY” with outstanding<br />

features of artistic craftsmanship.<br />

ATTENTION PAID TO CUSTOMER SATISFACTION<br />

Taking care of the customer for RONCATO firstly means understanding his needs, always being ready to carry out preliminary on-the-spot inspections,<br />

measurements and whatever else is necessary.<br />

Doors and windows are always delivered and installed by the retailer’s or the firm’s own fitters, who have an identification document and are trained to behave<br />

in a properly educated way in full respect of the persons and the property that they find in the customer’s home.<br />

The work always ends with a strict inspection and with the filling in of a “satisfaction” form signed by the customer and the chief fitter.<br />

AND THE FIRM’S IDENTITY?<br />

Throughout its growth RONCATO has always opted for work offering the opportunity of conveying “originality”.<br />

Even in jobbing work, when taken out of need, in which others obviously dealt with the marketing of the product, the approach to any problem, relations with<br />

the company that had acquired the business and the contribution made to the initiative were so enthusiastic and characteristic as to single out a precise and<br />

recognisable attitude.<br />

When RONCATO was finally able to approach the market directly with its own products and its own brand name, it certainly did not “copy” (as most do in<br />

these cases) paths that had already been taken, which even though easier are far less satisfying.<br />

On the contrary the firm preferred to test itself with new and absolutely original types of product, creating a business that had to make its own way but where<br />

“faith” in its own business instinct became the only true engine.<br />

Although this outlook is supported by correct analyses of sales strategies, it springs from the very character of the <strong>Roncato</strong>s, from their temperament that is<br />

marked by the passion for “the work in itself” and by the creative actions that this passion induces.<br />

If RONCATO<br />

- believes in craftwork but not traditionalism,<br />

- is innovative but not industrial,<br />

- is creative yet organised,<br />

- is split up into divisions yet is a small concern<br />

how can these characteristics be united in a single condensed identity?<br />

The resulting company “concept” is<br />

“ATELIER RONCATO”<br />

and its “mission” can only be: “to produce highly distinctive furnishing elements”.<br />

Doors, tables, cabinets and pictures can therefore all be in the same place not just because of a family feeling, but because they are actors in a singular<br />

show whose production may be entrusted, case by case, to the interior decorator of that moment, whether architect or enthusiastic end user.<br />

They do not just act as a whole, but each individual product can communicate with the rest.<br />

Putting a <strong>Roncato</strong> product into a room, whether it is a picture, a table, a tray, etc., even a door, means inserting a telling sign.<br />

A sign full of life in a dwelling distinguished by that symbolic strength that has been lost due to the effect of production standardisation, which tends to make<br />

everything dreary and equal and forgets those values which make the house of every person predominantly “his”, that is, in some way unique and able to<br />

represent him.<br />

Going to the ATELIER RONCATO is like going to the tailor, not because he makes the things “to measure”, but because he makes them to fit the emotional<br />

needs of the person; in other words he makes them in such a way that they become personal, capable of wakening up the numbed sensitivities of every<br />

person by relating not only to his functional and material needs but also to his fantasy and imaginary world, satisfying the interior of his aesthetic desires.
