THE GESSI OASIS. A “GREEN” INDUSTRIAL PARK

Design today need not only be aesthetics, ergonomics, functionality and ability to industrialize the product; it should also take
account of the values and concerns of society: the environment, energy resources, new dwelling customs, new individual
and collective needs.

Gessi has long engaged in a very accurate study of innovative, timeless designs and new housing concepts for tomorrow’s
dwellings to be invariably proposed at every season - relying on the use of highest quality materials and the time-honoured
tradition of meticulous Italian craftsmanship. The same level of accuracy is used in its search for technical and technological
solutions so as to obtain safe and sustainable products and processes.

Gessi purports to be a ‘special place’ where out-of-the-ordinary fantasies come true.
The new Gessi Park originates from this very idea. It was designed as a special, oasis-like production complex that combines
functionality and efficiency with beauty, eco-friendliness and worker-friendliness. The Park layout mixes industrial and
landscape eco-architecture, technology and design, all harmoniously integrated in the territory. This provides a perfect setting
for seamless production processes where products meant for worldwide exportation are manufactured with the use of state-
of-the art technologies and zero environmental impact.

The green design of the Park is just an aspect of the overall project whose environmental sustainability rests with technically
advanced, ecologically responsible and industrially unparalleled if not unique system solutions.
These solutions span from natural lighting and ventilation apparatuses through indoor quality control to highly efficient
conditioning and heating systems including, inter alia, systems recovering and reusing the heat produced; all devices are
designed with the utmost attention to energy efficiency and abatement of polluting emissions into the atmosphere.
Gessi is the first company in Europe to have developed pilot plants for recycling almost all of the water employed in production
processes, e.g. systems for the drainage of underground water and its reuse for irrigation, systems for process-water
collection, purification and recycling, etc. The Company has also deployed on a 4 ha surface one of the most innovative and
advanced rooftop solar photovoltaic generation systems, which came into operation at the end of 2010 and will produce
clean energy while avoiding thousands of tons of CO2 to be released into the atmosphere.

The commitment to optimise processes and minimise wastes and inefficiencies involves each level of the Organization
through an Integrated Quality and Environmental Management System.
Environment protection is a concern since the very early stages of development of any product or process project; Gessi
considers it a mission towards its clients and a commitment to create a mindset for everyone to embrace environment minded
behaviours and choices.

After all, for Gessi Innovation means not only inventing new aesthetic solutions but also, and more importantly, meeting
dreams and needs, including those of generations to come, with new technologies, new production processes and new
materials. Along with design uniqueness and technology, the real added value of the Gessi brand is indeed its content of
poetry and respect for the world.
