Solid door handle from the Daytona series

Luigi Bigoloni founded the company Manital in 1990 in Vobarno, a small town in the province of Brescia, a region known worldwide for metalworking and craftsmanship. From the very beginning, Bigoloni built the foundations of the company's philosophy: a passion for design, attention to detail, and the pursuit of innovation.

The 1990s were an excellent opportunity to develop and implement state-of-the-art technologies for the production of handles, by introducing new production systems focused on robotics and automation, a semi-automatic assembly system, and a computerised system supporting warehouse management.

The application of cutting-edge industrial technologies allows for perfection in the production cycle, waste reduction, and quality optimisation. However, the manual craftsmanship, which represents the cultural heritage of the Valleys of Brescia, still remains in Manital's production.

BRASS

Eco-friendly, thanks to its full recyclability. Durable over time due to excellent corrosion resistance. Brass is an alloy consisting of 60% copper, a material that is 100% recyclable and naturally antibacterial.

ZINC ALLOY

The processing of zinc involves reduced energy consumption and negligible emissions into the atmosphere. Moreover, it can be repeatedly melted down and reused without losing its original properties, and any waste produced in the manufacturing process is fully recyclable.

FINISHES

The Italian manufacturer Manital offers a variety of galvanic and PVD finishes. The galvanic finishing process coats the base metal of the handle with a different type of metal, making it more resistant and durable. Galvanic finishes are offered in colours: chrome, nickel, bronze, brass. PVD or Physical Vapor Deposition technology is achieved by evaporating metals in a vacuum and depositing particles on the handle, providing strong aesthetic, technical, and ecological properties.

The rich production history of the region allows Manital to produce handles of the highest quality while shortening the supply chain. “Made in Italy” is not only synonymous with quality but also an environmentally sustainable choice with local production.
