Since childhood, Mauro Saviola made wood the passion of his entire life. From the very beginning, he believed in the possibility of recovering leftover materials and unsold timber. This vision led to the innovative idea of manufacturing particleboard panels made from 100% recycled wood. With determination, he pursued his vision of an industrial system based on the principles of the circular economy and environmental sustainability until the very last days of his life.
The core concept, producing furniture from recycled wood, proved not only innovative but also a conscious choice in support of environmental conservation. Over the years, production steadily increased, eventually meeting 35% of Italy’s national demand. Today, Gruppo Saviola recovers more than 1.65 million tons of used wood every year, saving approximately 10,000 trees per day.
Founded in 1963, Gruppo Saviola is now one of Italy’s leading industrial groups, organized into five Business Units: Savionet, Saviola, Sadepan, Composad, and Saviolife. With 15 production facilities, around 2,000 employees, and revenue of €757 million in 2025, the Group operates internationally, promoting a development model based on innovation, sustainability, and the circular economy.
