Innovation, vision and strategy

The market is approached as well through direct channels (separate business unit working under the VANERUM name) as well as distribution (separate business unit working under the VSV name). This specific model ensures the highest standards of service to customers and of the quality of products. The different market entrances also provide an extensive insight into the specific demands and goals of customers.

For years we have consistently pursued new paths in design; for years we have been practicing fair, responsible partnership. Our ultimate goal is simple: to make the places where people study, present, communicate, teach and learn, as appealing, productive and healthy as possible and so achieving total customer satisfaction at all levels.




Social responsibility

One specific aim pursued by VANERUM Group through its actions as a socially responsible company is to recognize and support the execution of projects that contribute to the use of new technologies and ergonomics with particular emphasis on children. We believe that new technologies and the care for ergonomics are a basic ingredient in the improvement of quality of education and of life.
