the history of the valen group begins in 1960 with the founding of valencassetti in sacile, italy by amedeo della valentina, the president of valencassetti, valendrawers, and valeneast.

the new company valencassetti sprang from amedeo’s new and original concept that a specialized wood component producer could deliver ready-made parts faster and better than they could be built in-house by furniture and kitchen specialists. valencassetti became a specialist in drawer components, achieved high efficiencies, and showed the way for a whole new way of producing furniture. virtually every furniture and kitchen producer has today embraced outsourcing as the new and best way of lowering costs and increasing quality. today, as for many years, over 95% of all furniture and kitchen drawers in europe are delivered by outside component suppliers, led by the original producer, valencassetti.

valencassetti not only pioneered the concept of outsourced components, but in 1964 was instrumental in the development of the first modern “flat-line” finishing system for furniture components. the finishing lines of the valen group produce a high quality finish at a lower piece cost than hand applied finishes. today valen group components continue to be known for their distinctively high quality finish.

the success of valencassetti showed the way for the development of an entirely new way of approaching manufacturing for both large and small furniture, kitchen, and office producers.

valencassetti is located in sacile, italy in the heart of the furniture producing region of northeast italy. valencassetti has been awarded the prestigious ISO 9002 designation for its industry-leading quality control process.

valendrawers was founded in 1985 in lexington, north carolina to serve the fast growing north american market. valendrawers brings the same high quality materials and workmanship delivered in Europe to valen group customers in north america.

valeneast, founded in 1999, is located in a prime source region for high quality hardwoods in eastern europe. valeneast is the first processing point for all of the solid wood drawer components for the valen group. the valen group thus performs all processing operations related to solid wood components and delivers an unusually high level of quality in solid wood drawers at a very competitive price.
