Profile

Corà has been operating in the Italian and international markets since 1919. The company based in Vicenza, with its continual development over the years, today represents the “economic and production history” of the Italian wood sector, from the search for raw materials to their industrial processing and crafting.

In every country Corà imports materials from, it insists on respect for the forest environment: the oldest natural resource known to man.

Mission

Wood is like a book that tells a story: the growth rings take the place of words. It is an ancient and noble material that humans have always turned to for ensuring survival and improving their lifestyle.

More than any other material, it imparts sentiment to homes, furniture and decor: Wood enlivens, gives warmth and adorns.
The modern technology of wood has been handed down from a very ancient and highly-skilled craftsmanship. Many skills have been completely lost over the centuries, while many others have been replaced using new materials and new working methods.

For this reason, the search for supply sources that are certified and sustainably managed forests, has become Corà’s mission.
