Inaugurated in 1978, Bontempo makes use of the history and experience of five generations in the furniture manufacturing business. Experience inherited from the company's founding family, which has been involved in the business since arriving in Brazil in 1876.
This experience provides them with more than just knowledge, but the constant search for development and perfection of products and processes. A constant desire to surpass expectations and create unique, special environments that reflect the lifestyles of their customers.
Quality in every single detail.
Bontempo's concern with quality involves every stage of the process. The raw materials used come from certified suppliers and waste products are disposed of properly.
Our industrial park is one of the sector's most sophisticated and modern sites, and operates with the latest machines and equipment. And its furniture manufacturing always receives a handcrafted touch, a characteristic that valorizes all of the brand's products.
In addition, the professional sales team and assembly technicians at Bontempo franchises are specialists in interior design and architecture, and trained to have full knowledge of the brand's products. That's Bontempo's way of ensuring that every environment will turn out exactly the way customers envisioned.
