Since 2008 Valiani cutting plotters have fully entered the graphics and packaging sector for any prototyping and small and medium production needs.<\/p>\n Nico Valiani, CEO of Valiani, talks about the path that led the Tuscan company to enter the fields of visual communication and box making, but also about the strengths that distinguish its solutions on the market.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb3_4,1_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb3_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb28px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb]<\/p>\n Valiani has been chosen by prestigious institutions, museums and companies around the world<\/p><\/div>\n Valiani was founded in 1974 in Certaldo, near Florence, with the production of cutting machines dedicated to passe-partout for paintings. Today our machines are installed in museums all over the world: the Louvre and the Orsay Museum in Paris, the MoMA in San Francisco, the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, the New York Public Library and many others. In 2008, when the financial crisis hit the art sector hard, we looked for new markets, making our solutions also suitable for the production of boxes (a type of application that museums already performed with our cutting systems), cutting and the contour of printed materials. Over time, we have therefore developed three Business Units: one for products for the framing sector, the second for the print & packaging and visual communication market and, finally, the last dedicated to the world of clothing and footwear with cutting of patterns. We export our cutting machines to over 80 countries, where we have carried out more than 4,500 installations, thanks to a capillary sales network and a highly qualified assistance service.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_blurb use_icon=\u00bbon\u00bb font_icon=\u00bb%%164%%\u00bb icon_color=\u00bb#374345″ use_icon_font_size=\u00bbon\u00bb icon_font_size=\u00bb45px\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_number_counter title=\u00bbCountries all over the world\u00bb number=\u00bb80″ percent_sign=\u00bboff\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ title_font=\u00bbNexa Bold||||||||\u00bb title_text_color=\u00bb#374345″ number_font=\u00bbNexa Bold||||||||\u00bb number_text_color=\u00bb#374345″ custom_margin=\u00bb0px||||false|false\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_number_counter][et_pb_blurb use_icon=\u00bbon\u00bb font_icon=\u00bb%%98%%\u00bb icon_color=\u00bb#374345″ use_icon_font_size=\u00bbon\u00bb icon_font_size=\u00bb45px\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ background_layout=\u00bbdark\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb||0px||false|false\u00bb][\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_number_counter title=\u00bbinstallations\u00bb number=\u00bb4500″ percent_sign=\u00bboff\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ title_font=\u00bbNexa Bold||||||||\u00bb title_text_color=\u00bb#374345″ number_font=\u00bbNexa Bold||||||||\u00bb number_text_color=\u00bb#374345″ background_layout=\u00bbdark\u00bb][\/et_pb_number_counter][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.6.1″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb28px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb]<\/p>\n Our cutting machines are the result of made in Italy engineering: they are produced entirely in our factories and using only Italian mechanics. We are so confident in the value and reliability of our products that we offer a 5 year warranty. Integrity, passion, reliability are the values that guide our company and that have gradually led us to become a reference point for the market. With the functionality and equipment suitable for the packaging and printing industry, such as camera control devices or detection systems, today our plotters are highly appreciated and considered ideal for both prototyping and small and medium runs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb28px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb]<\/p>\n Valiani Production line<\/p><\/div>\n Our plotters were born from an entirely Italian project with the aim of competing in a segment where low-cost imported Asian machines, until now, seemed to have no alternative. Valiani has been producing for 5 years with the Lean method (Toyota), which has led us to minimize the defects of the components and of the machine in its entirety; this is also why we can afford to offer a 5-year guarantee on all components. Furthermore, all our machines are CE certified. We have always wanted to compete on the market in a transparent and correct manner and this is only possible by working together with other Italian companies. Made in Italy can compete globally only as a team and this is a wish, particularly in a historical moment like the present one. We believe that customers should consider product life span, operating costs and downtime when purchasing. Last but not least, quick and punctual assistance on spare parts that only the Italian manufacturer can guarantee.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb28px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb]<\/p>\n Valiani Customer Experience Center<\/p><\/div>\n We act as a partner to support our business growth towards our customers.

Cutting and creasing are inserted in the same module and the oscillating head can be inserted for thicknesses up to 2 cm. It is a cutting machine designed to manage and contour surfaces up to 160×305 cm in size that requires the intervention of an operator to load the material. It is perfect for die-cutting work on cardboard, corrugated cardboard, for packaging and POP displays and, thanks to its solid structure, is able to effectively process even heavy materials and more rigid supports such as Foamboard, foamed or Forex.<\/p>\n The Mat Pro Ultra V<\/a> is instead a machine with a single interchangeable head, you can change the tool in 7-10 seconds; it is ideal for prototypes and small runs. Thanks to the numerous customization possibilities and the wide range of tools, it is used for various applications obtaining maximum precision and quality with low investment costs.<\/p>\n Finally, the main novelty is the automated “Omnia<\/a>” cutting machine, designed to crease and contour surfaces with dimensions of 60×80 cm. It is an automatic loading die-cutting system, which aims to satisfy the need for uninterrupted productivity, without the constant presence of the operator and without the worry of errors, blocks or waste. It is able to cut different types of material, always maintaining a high quality level, it is performing and absolutely reliable in the production of small and medium runs. Omnia<\/a> performs cutting, half-cutting and creasing operations on a wide range of materials, has a camera for the recognition of print marks and QR code, a loader that guarantees an autonomy of about 600 sheets. Vacuum table and cutting capacity with oscillating head up to 12 mm, all with a cutting speed of over 1000 mm \/ sec<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/valiani.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/macchinari-ensemble.png\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.7.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb16px\u00bb quote_font=\u00bbNexa Light||on||||||\u00bb quote_text_color=\u00bb#000000″ quote_font_size=\u00bb24px\u00bb quote_line_height=\u00bb1.1em\u00bb header_2_font_size_tablet=\u00bb\u00bb header_2_font_size_phone=\u00bb28px\u00bb header_2_font_size_last_edited=\u00bbon|phone\u00bb quote_text_shadow_style=\u00bbpreset1″]<\/p>\n The technological heart of the company is the Valiani Lab<\/a>, where the products of the future are born and developed.
