Teuco Guzzini SpA belongs to the large Guzzini group. It is owned by the holding company, Fimag, that was set up in 1982 to bring together the various companies in the group. These are:

 

• Fratelli Guzzini Spa, the first company in the group, established in 1912 and specializing in manufacturing designer items for preparing and presenting food;

• iGuzzini illuminazione Srl, set up in 1958 to manufacture lamps. Today, it specializes in designing complex lighting systems;

• Teuco Guzzini Spa, set up in 1972, it produces whirlpool bathtubs, multifunctional shower cubicles, shower enclosures and mini-pools, products it uses to create environments and systems of well-being.

 

Under the leadership of Giuseppe Guzzini, the companies in the Fimag group work together whilst maintaining a certain degree of independence. Although they operate in different sectors, they are all leaders in their respective fields and share a common aim of achieving the highest standards of quality and a strong inclination to design. The companies in the Guzzini group have always encouraged technical and stylistic research by investing significantly in the area. Through its forward-thinking, the group has always been one step ahead of market trends and able to offer its customers the latest innovative solutions.

 

Teuco has fully assimilated the group’s philosophy and ever since it was established, it has made market focus, innovation, know-how and design its fundamental values.  Synonymous with quality and reliability guaranteed by the ISO 9001 certification attained in 1998 and the IMQ quality mark, Teuco products are stylistically innovative and technologically unique.

Teuco has always shown a strong international presence with branches that have been operating for years in France, Spain, Britain, Germany and Russia as well as an extensive network of agents, distributors and importers worldwide. Since 1990, Teuco has controlled Gitronica Srl which is involved in research and application of electronics in the various stages of product development.

 

Virgilio Guzzini, the founder of Teuco, was the first person to apply the group’s experience in the treatment of plastic materials and especially acrylic to the world of well-being and water. With his know-how and a natural predisposition for innovation, he brought Teuco awards, patents and a position as market leader right from the very beginning. This same spirit of innovation has been passed on to his son and grandson.

 

Since November 2005 the Chairman of Teuco has been Luca Guzzini with Mauro Guzzini as Managing Director and Leonello Conocchiari as CEO. Their work and strategic choices demonstrate its market focus that embodies the group philosophy.  

 

From this point of view, for Teuco 2007 is undoubtedly an important time for redefining its market position in line with changing general patterns of consumption especially in the well-being market. Indeed, today, Teuco’s audience wants objects that can satisfy desires, gratify them emotionally and arouse intense emotions. In this situation, Teuco asserts itself once more with its unique ability to design not only products but new environments and scenarios linked to the sensory and emotional experience of water. Teuco’s mission is to bring out the beauty of water by using its know-how to create personalized spaces where technology is surprisingly straightforward and design meets the tastes of an increasingly more sophisticated audience and is one step ahead of changing lifestyles.

 

In recent years, Teuco has invested heavily in research and development and used increasingly more user-friendly technologies and exclusive patents that make Teuco’s products impossible to imitate. There is Hydrosonic, the only whirlpool bathtub in the world with ultrasound and Hydrosilence, the first noiseless whirlpool.  There is also Duralight®, the Solid Surface made exclusively by Teuco, innovative material that can be shaped with no limits in form, size or colour to give maximum expression to design and creativity. These innovations, as well as working with top designers, have helped the company to launch innovative projects on the market that express a new concept of well-being that is increasingly more attuned to contemporary lifestyle.

 

Teuco’s strong focus on changing markets and new business can also be seen in the concrete steps it has taken with regard to strategy and organization. It has created a contract division to meet the increasingly important needs of the world of design. This is also an important period for strengthening the company’s policy of expanding international markets with the acquisition of the British company, Spaform S.p.A., which has increased its know-how and range in the mini-pool sector, and for strengthening relations with the French market by appointing Luca Guzzini as Managing Director of Teuco France and opening a prestigious showroom in Paris.
