Civardi's philosophy can be seen even from the office and production building. An impressive showroom — from the spiral staircase on the outside and the elevator, through the meeting room and the workstations, right up to the ceiling elements and the lighting system. "We built everything ourselves," says David Civardi proudly.

Civardi Furniture produces high-quality interior fittings for the commercial and private sector — primarily in batch size 1. Just like a traditional carpenter, every item of furniture that is manufactured is designed individually.

Creativity and individuality

From humble beginnings, the business has grown over the years and earned itself a reputation of being one of Australia’s top manufacturers of quality joinery.

The state-of-the-art factory located in Rydalmere NSW boasts a blend of traditional wood-working machines and advanced automated manufacturing equipment.

The customized nature of the customer projects requires not only creativity from Civardi, but also an inventory of a wide range of different types of materials. To manage and process this diversity of types, Civardi Furniture has worked closely with HOMAG Australia to equip its production facilities with machines and systems which, in line with the company’s philosophy, enable efficient and high-quality production.

Always one step ahead

For David Civardi, it is important that his company is always one step ahead, which is demonstrated by the production processes.

Civardi Furniture has linked its two CNC processing machines of the type Vantage 100 and CENTATEQ N-700 together with a SAWTEQ B-300 panel dividing saw and a STORETEQ S-500 storage system to create a harmonized processing cell. 

The EDGETEQ S-500 edge banding machine with a PUR system and the DRILLTEQ D-200 CNC drilling and dowel inserting machine round off the production facilities.

The processing cell in particular shows its effectiveness. With this cell, Civardi is currently achieving a whole 30–40% more output with a simultaneous increase in flexibility, including better use of material through the integrated handling of offcuts. "We know precisely what material we have and what offcuts we have. We can reuse these parts at any time whenever we need them, even for other projects," says David Civardi. Thanks to the woodStore storage control system, Civardi Furniture retains an overview and can cost projects precisely — now and in the future.

David Civardi is very impressed by the HOMAG systems: "Anyone who doesn't automate and invest in this technology can no longer keep up these days and will ultimately come to a standstill."
