OVER 65 YEARS' EXPERIENCE IN PRODUCING DOORS HANDLING PROCESSES SUCH AS WORKING WITH WOOD, COATING, EDGING AND MEMBRANE PRESSING

ILCAM — Industria Lavorazione Curvati e Affini Manzano — was founded in 1959 by Tullio Zamò along with three partners in the heart of one of Italy’s leading furniture industry districts. Its original core business was the production of curved backs.

In the early ’60s, ILCAM shifted its focus from curved backs to table legs and bases and began to supply furniture manufacturers from Pordenone and Pesaro who, at the time, were riding the wave of the first economic boom and starting to build a reputation in the domestic market.

For ILCAM, the ’70s represented a watershed moment. The company started to make a name for itself, growing its workforce and broadening its range. In 1975, the company turned its attention to solid wood cabinet doors, becoming the first company to produce them on an industrial scale. Strategic expansion followed as the company branched into Europe.

By the ’80s, the company was extending its solid wood range with the addition of raised and fielded cabinet doors featuring veneered panels. In the mid-’80s, the ILCAM facility introduced a state-of-the-art coating line, the most advanced in all of Europe at the time. With PVC door production added to its capabilities, ILCAM became the first manufacturer in the industry to handle the full gamut of door coating technologies.

The ’90s ushered in a new phase of overseas investment with the birth of ILMEST in Slovenia followed in short order by ILROM in Romania.

At the turn of the millennium, ILCAM was unveiling its new headquarters in Cormons, consolidating processes that had previously been spread across facilities in Cormons, Manzano and San Giovanni al Natisone.

2010 marked the start of a major investment campaign that would create new companies and implement strategic acquisitions. The ILCAM Group we know today emerged from a strategic vision based on the integration of diverse expertise and further expansion of the range of components and accessories.

The installation of our first photovoltaic system in 2011 signalled a long-term commitment to sustainability that has grown steadily ever since.

ILCAM Group has grown from strength to strength over the years with a series of strategic milestones: in 2014, we acquired LICAR to broaden our offering and strengthen our UK and US presence; in 2016, Lanta joined the Group; in 2018, we established O.L. Frontal Solution, and relevant production site in the United States, through a joint venture with Canadian group Olon; in 2022, we opened ILBORD2, a modern production unit dedicated to squaring and edge-banding; in 2023, O.L. Frontal Solution, later renamed Licar America LLC, was brought under the Group’s direct control; and lastly, in 2024, we established PS Zeta Holding S.r.l., a new holding company marking another step change in our journey.
