Ambrovit, consistent with its commercial development programme, is always on the market with brand new products, available for its customers.

Ambrovit has recently significantly expanded its carpentry screws range.

The commercial success of carpentry screws brought creativity in Ambrovit’s show stand project over 2018-2019. The stand design is apparently simple, but it actually has a considerable impact in communicating the sector the company wants to operate in, using for example, laminated timber, mostly employed in wooden constructions and truss.

Ambrovit wanted to make an impact, with its usual elegance, in one of the fields where it is among the leaders of the sector, thanks to continued research. The aims of the management was well interpreted by the designer in the shape, materials and spaces addressed to the typical hospitality of Ambrovit.

This message was also taken in by the public, having been very successful among visitors at shows so far, and even won an award, for Best Stand 2018 at last year’s Construction Week exhibition in Birmingham.
