About Us

History

Established in 1977 thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit and technical skills of Arrigo Stocco, Essepi s.r.l. is a company specializing in the processing of wood for chairs with a strong commitment to meet the design challenges of the customer.

Over the years, through the continuous implementation of know-how in the plywood/multilayer sector, and significant investment in human resources, technology and structures, Essepi has become a point of reference in the Italian "Distretto della sedia” (Chair District), confirming the internationally recognized local manufacturing tradition of Friuli Venezia Giulia.

In response to changing market needs, which require ever-increasing flexibility in design, the company has always focused its development on the ability to combine manufacturing with state-of-the-art technology.
