A long story boasting a wealth of experience and projects, encounters and turning points. The first, in 1944, when we moved our machinery and production from Prestane, in Slovenia to San Bonifacio. This is where we inaugurated our new premises in 1945 and our company is still here today.
In 1978 Anselmo Godi took over at the top and introduced our company philosophy and ever since it has been oriented towards research and innovation. Under his guidance, in 1983 the company was the first to register a patent for prefinished wooden flooring - a revolution for this sector. In 1996, our decision to apply for official recognition saw its first success and Menotti Specchia was awarded UNI EN ISO 9002:1994 quality certification. In 2001 Gabriele Godi took over management of the company, following up his father's vision and continuing to invest in technological innovation and reorganisation.
The years that followed brought with them new certifications: UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 (Vision 2000) and in 2004 Menotti Specchia was one of the first Italian businesses in the sector to gain UNI EN ISO 14001:2004 certification for its environment management systems.
2005 saw the birth of XiLab , the research workshop for product innovation. With XiLab , Menotti Specchia expanded its design service, able to deliver pioneering products and solutions in wood, not only for flooring but for all aspects of interior design. FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification, for wood from certified controlled forests, is one of the most recent results that Menotti Specchia has achieved thanks to a production policy that respects Nature and the environment.
