Florian: Innovation and Sustainability in the Use of Wood.
The Florian Group with headquarters in Italy, manages a complete wood chain, controlling the entire production process, from the forest to the finished product, guaranteeing maximum quality and minimum waste of resources. with over 60 years of activity, it is leader in the wood market and includes specialized companies in Italy and Europe.
From Forest to Finished Product: An Integrated Supply Chain
The focus on the environment is on Florian’s DNA, which is committed to sustainable development at every stage of the wood production cycle, from the procurement of the raw material in controlled areas to using renewable energy. Each log is selected and processed into a range of products, minimizing waste.
The processing begins with sawn timber, available in a variety of essences, qualities and sizes, making them versatile for different applications. Thanks to a thorough drying, a suitable humidity is guaranteed for each specific application. The most popular products include boards, slats and elements.
Florian also specialises in the production of laminated profiles and beams. The Wood is carefully selected to create products such as FLO.LAM OAK, an oak laminated beam made of comb-jointed lamellas, ideal for prestigious residential construction. A product that helps to preserve the natural cycle of forests and increase resilience and resistance, which are key factors in mitigating the effects of climate change.
Florian continues the transformation of wood with floors with an elegant and durable design. Thanks to the quality of materials and careful processing, they reflect a commitment to sustainability and resource optimization. Family® is an example of this philosophy: a natural, high-performance floor that contributes to well-being and the environment. The production process is zero-emission and uses clean energy.
Among Florian's various productions, the line of tables also stands out, born from the encounter of natural, solid woods with linear metal elements that enhance the raw material. These tables are transformed into objects of distinctive design, as unique as the logs from which they originate, in which the warmth of wood contrasts harmoniously with metal and steel modelled into clean shapes.
The last important step in Florian's ‘0 waste’ integrated supply chain is the Woody Fire line. It includes a complete range of natural biofuels, produced exclusively from virgin wood without glues or chemical additives. These fuels are obtained from the recovery and reuse of high-quality raw materials from hardwoods, processed in the form of logs and all their derivatives, including refiles and sawdust. Within the Woody Fire range, we find different solutions for heating and cooking: pellets, briketts, sticks and firewood.
Commitment to Sustainability and Renewable Energy.
Florian is also committed to the production of renewable energy through biomass plants for heat in the evaporation, drying and thermo-treatment cycles. These green technologies position Florian as a leader in sustainability, demonstrating that innovation and respect for the environment can coexist.
Florian owns one of the largest biomass plants in Europe, a true symbol of our commitment to clean energy and reduced emissions. Our plant is strategically located in Din Novoselec, Zagreb, no more than 100 km from any of the group's raw material sources, allowing an efficient use of the short supply chain.
In addition, photovoltaic systems have been installed in the Florian Group's main companies, producing over 14 million kWh of energy per year. This energy, together with that generated by the biomass plants, is used for self-consumption, contributing significantly to the reduction of environmental impact.
Thanks to a corporate strategy focused on innovation and sustainability, Florian demonstrates that it is possible to combine industrial growth and respect for the environment, offering advanced solutions for the global market.
