History
/var/eclisse_it/storage/original/application/45c2b6061ec009b65d4d9cde280bbb2e.swf
Everything started in the late 1980s when a metal joinery shop established in the 1960s gradually began to specialize in the production of metal sliding systems for doors and windows. The decision to diversify from the original De Faveri S.r.l. production gave rise to the idea of systems for pocket sliding doors, a new product to be developed in series.
Officially, the Eclisse story starts on January 10, 1989, the date on which Luigi De Faveri founded Eclisse.
The enterprise, an ambitious project which was not free of risks, required major investments to set up cutting-edge industrial plants and compete on a highly selective market.
In the 1990s, Eclisse grew through hard work and a steadfast commitment to research and innovation as well as through the team spirit of those deeply involved in this project.
Expansion of the models and the range of processes plus the ability to innovate products and process gradually brought encouraging market development, both in Italy and abroad.
Today Eclisse is a renowned brand, benchmark for the industry, leader in the field with 10 subsidiaries worldwide, more than 30 representative offices and 2000 distributors in Italy able to produce 1300 frames a day.
The fundamental milestones

|
|
| 1989 - 1995 De Faveri Luigi inaugurates Eclisse S.r.l. in Falzé di Piave, Treviso. This is where the models Unico, Estensione, Novanta, Telescopic and Unilateral are manufactured. In 1991 the company receives its first patent: the weld-free system for connecting the mesh to the counterframe (solid wall version). The fact that this system lacks any welding prevents rust and detachment of the mesh. The same year, the company also patents the fully extractable track. A year later, Eclisse tests a stud wall installation kit with aluminium profiles and screws.
