Another outing - this time for work

Thursday morning we were at school early - heading for Fantoni and Snaidero - two companies about an hour and a half from here - office furniture and kitchens respectively. The visits were interesting - there are huge differences between Italian family run businesses and the multinationals that I am used to working with - and its fascinating for me to see the operations and hear from the management.
We did some virtual shopping - picking the items we would buy when we had the money / space. The red desk at Fantoni only had slightly fewer fans than the Euro 60 thousand kitchen in Snaidero (now we only need to virtually buy the house to go with it!)
The light in the show rooms was beautiful - so no more words but here are some pics of the group - and the factory....
