Italian design and approach

Quality, ergonomics, innovation
The quality of Stosa kitchens is the result of a combination of smart choices: foremost among these is the selection of top-quality materials and high-performance internal accessories which, together with technological partnerships with leading white goods brands, make every product unique and long-lasting.
Attention to detail is a key feature of all Stosa products, and meticulous care is taken over every design.
Thorough and constantly updated ergonomic research allows Stosa to design well organised spaces that are easy to clean and meet customers’ need for functionality.
Everything that Stosa does is guided by a fundamental value: our intrinsic commitment to innovation.
Technical innovation above all: Stosa’s policy of targeted investment has led to the creation of one of the most modern production systems in the business, with a high level of automation, optimised production flows and logistics and, of course, an advanced product development process.
In addition to technology, Stosa is also innovative in its way of thinking: our corporate culture is constantly evolving, welcoming new ideas, striving for flexibility and accepting challenges. At Stosa, we are committed to critical self-examination in order to continue improving and achieving increasingly ambitious targets.
Design guides the creation of all Stosa kitchens, which stand out for scrupulous attention to detail, original finish and colour combinations and high-impact appearance. Every project is the fruit of an ongoing journey of research and innovation, and combines looks, ergonomics and functionality in a product styled to respond to different tastes and to provide the highest level of performance.

Certified ltalian Kitchen
Stosa gives customers an additional guarantee. Our determination to provide top-quality and long-lasting products and to achieve continuous improvement is underscored by our decision to obtain some of the most prestigious certifications in the world.
Quality certification is entirely voluntary; it is not required by law. Certification involves a declaration, by an independent third party, that our products and our quality management system conform to an established standard.
The certification that Stosa has chosen to obtain covers areas of fundamental importance to the manufacture of top-quality furniture: the production chain, the product itself and respect for the environment.
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
ISO 9001 is one of the most influential standards in the world.
As an evolved company, Stosa has chosen ISO 9001 certification because it understands that continuous innovation and research are essential to future prosperity.
Stosa also believes that employees need to be kept constantly informed, trained and directly involved in implementing the Quality Management System.
The ISO 9001 model also serves as a strategic tool for living up to the promises we make to customers and for measuring performance through specific indicators.

This certification guarantees that Stosa kitchens are made entirely in Italy, that design, development, machining and assembly work is 100% Italian and that production conforms to legislation in the fields of labour, health and safety.
100% Made in Italy certification demonstrates our commitment to defending Italian culture and craftsmanship as the inspiration behind technically and stylistically superb products, and our determination to promoting the excellence for which Italian design has always been recognised on the domestic and international markets.
COSMOB Qualità Praemium (CQP) “Circular manufacturing in the furniture industry”
Stosa Cucine is among the few Italian companies certified by COSMOB, a prestigious notified body for the manufacturing and wood furniture sectors. COSMOB assesses the circularity of production processes and provides companies with an objective certification of transparency on sustainability matters.
The process covers all phases from concept and design to the selection and sourcing of materials and final production. It also evaluates eco-design, the efficient use of all resources and, finally, the recovery and/or recycling of the certified products.
COSMOB has monitored and assessed all these aspects at Stosa Cucine and has certified our company’s ability to implement an industrial process that is centred around respect for the environment and people and that extends to every stage in the furniture production chain, from the manufacturing lines all the way to customer’s homes.
It has been specifically demonstrated that here at Stosa, the percentage of material that can be re-used approaches 100%. Laminate and melamine panels, for example, are 96% circularly sourced.
FSC® certification
As an FSC® certified company, Stosa makes an important contribution to safeguarding the world’s forests by using FSC® certified materials and selling FSC® certified products.
Customers can find many FSC® certified products in the Stosa range.
The Forest Stewardship Council® is an international organisation that has been working to protect the world’s forests for 25 years. The Council offers the most internationally credible solution for transparently guaranteeing that wood comes from properly managed sources.
The FSC® fulfils its mission by setting rigorous standards for good practice in forest management and also establishes the environmental, social and economic requirements that must be satisfied in the so-called “Chain of Custody”, i.e. the system that ensures the traceability of material sourced from forests throughout the chain of production and sale.
Carb P2
All Stosa kitchen units are made from CARB P2 certified materials. Carcasses are made from recyclable panels with an extremely low formaldehyde content, further demonstrating Stosa’s commitment to protecting the environment and saving natural resources.
Design and innovation go hand in hand with a raw materials selection process that combines the ethics of recycling with respect for the environment.
The panels used are type E1 according to standard UNI EN 717-1. The material is US market compliant: EPA P2-CARB P2 acc. to CCR Title 17 – § 93120.2 (a) – US EPA TSCA Title VI – 40 § 770
CQP COSMOB Qualitas Praemium
COSMOB Qualitas Praemium (CQP) certification for “Circular manufacturing in the furnishing industry”
Stosa Cucine has gained COSMOB Qualitas Praemium (CQP) certification for “Circular manufacturing in the furnishing industry” in recognition of the excellent results achieved in recent years in the sustainable use of resources throughout the product life cycle.
The percentage of material that can be re-used approaches 100% in the case of laminate while 96% melamine is sourced circularly.
Stosa Cucine has always been committed to developing an industrial cycle based on respect for the environment and for people, without neglecting any of the fundamental processes that quality furniture needs to undergo along the supply chain from production to the customer’s home.
This commitment was behind the decision to adopt a circular approach to resources and materials and to re-cycle them into the supply chain for re-use.
For Stosa Cucine, implementation of a circular manufacturing system represents a tangible result and validation of the values of ethics, sustainability and social responsibility that have inspired the company since its formation.
