‘We recognize environmental issues as a corporate priority’
Francesco Nalini, CAREL Group CEO
The company’s claim, “driven by the future”, perfectly sums up the CAREL model, representing the starting point and the final goal that together encompass the process of designing, manufacturing and marketing our products and systems. Indeed, CAREL’s products are born from the hope that a better future for the planet and its people is possible. It is with this awareness that CAREL intends to follow a path to achieve, day after day, concrete and measurable sustainability objectives, for the present and future generations.
An innovative consulting and technological partner, CAREL anticipates market demands, proposing energy-efficient solutions with guaranteed high performance.
Continuous improvement is our modus operandi, the method that allows us to create a standard without being constrained by it and then gradually succeeding in surpassing it to define an even higher-level standard.
Research, innovation and technology are the keys to our success: for almost fifty years, the customer’s needs have been at the centre of the elements we develop to ensure functional and aesthetic differentiation, all with a sustainable approach.
Our Group’s strength lies in the integration between the different areas; our overall vision, experience and transversal competencies mean we can exceed the boundaries of individual products and represent a single partner that can identify integrated application solutions.
