The Voltolina trademark is synonymous with Glass and Cut Glass. In 1984 the Voltolina brothers, heirs to a long Venetian tradition in the processing of glass, decided to diversify their manufacturing by producing high quality cut glass for lighting systems. Choice raw materials and innovative technology have enabled the company to reach the top of the sector worldwide. Today, the largest production facility covers 80,000 square meters, 30,000 indoors, and has over 700 employees. Voltolina has smaller but strategically important production facilities in Spain, Rumania, Marocco and Tunisia. In addition to cut glass, in 2000, the company produced artistic glass (Murano and superior quality lead free glass). The manufacturing versatility of the company has enabled it to move into a variety of market sectors, with worldwide sales (in prestige showrooms in Venice, New York, Casablanca and Dubai, for example). During 2001 the company launched a revolutionary type of lamp fixture (called the Leonardo System), allowing the lamp to be assembled without touching the electrical parts, making the process quicker and safer. Consumers immediately responded to the new feature, improving the appearance and safety of their homes.
