Defending our brand

Defending our brand

Nardi is synonymous with quality, research, reliability and fairness. Our products, always featuring original design, are made from high-quality materials entirely sourced from an Italian supply chain.

The NARDI brand represents the company’s identity and image. A key asset of our business strategy is to protect our brand on an international scale. Bearing this in mind, every year we invest a substantial percentage of our turnover in patenting our furniture designs and their innovative mechanisms so that we are the only ones who can offer them on the market, thus preventing others from exploiting them.

Over the last decade, changes in the way of doing business and the arrival of the Internet have intensified competition, bringing about an exponential increase in copycats and in cases of unfair competition with our brand. Legislation severely penalises counterfeiting, however, a patent holder is required to implement a ‘surveillance’ service and take prompt action to protect any exclusive rights.

On a daily basis, Nardi’s pool of lawyers focuses on brand protection and verifying reports. As a result of this work, a Turkish court recently ruled in our favour, sentencing a company that had been copying, producing and marketing an ‘exact copy’ of our Net for many years.

Anna Nardi, CEO: “We are very pleased with this sentence, as asserting one’s rights in foreign countries is a complex and costly procedure and the outcome depends on many factors. We have chosen to do this on a daily basis with perseverance and determination: by defending our products we also protect the work of all the people involved in making them, their original design, the quality of the raw materials, the reliability of the organisation, and the professionalism of an entirely Italian supply chain. Moreover, we protect those who choose to buy NARDI- branded products every day, as well as all our collaborators who believe and invest in us.”
