Design&build: a new look for Manaly
To celebrate the company's 40th anniversary, Manaly has decided to renew its image: the restyling of the logo and the new website have been designed to respond to the need to give the company a more modern image and communicate in a the services offered are simple and straightforward.
A turning point that, in a historical period characterized by great changes, the company felt the need to implement in order to be correctly perceived by the market, but also to convey to its shareholders, partners and collaborators the intention to continue the growth process, which had begun way back in '81, and to continue the investment action on personnel and on the company itself.
Manaly Design&Build
For this reason, on the occasion of the anniversary, the claim stand events was replaced with design&build which today represents more comprehensively the services offered by the company: not only the creation of exhibition spaces and events, but a complete support that integrates aspects of design, planning, set-up, multimedia, logistics and transport.
To complete this renovation, Manaly has opened its historical archive in digital format: a permanent online exhibition in which images of stands and events alternate with unpublished moments in the history of the brand. A photographic collection strongly desired to describe and enhance not only in words, but also through images, the four decades of activity.

Il Bosco Solidale: Sustainability as an opportunity for innovation and growth
On Sunday 13 September, within the Fair & Festival of the Forests of Longarone, we presented the case of "Il Bosco in Spiaggia", a project born in the lockdown period and aimed at using the wood of trees felled by the Vaia storm to create structures suitable for ensure distance on the beaches.
Solidarity forest: what is it?
The project was born from the idea of our President Alessandro Montanari, who dreamed of creating a product to guarantee social distancing on the Venetian beaches using the wood deriving from the trees felled by the Vaia storm in 2018. From this vision an ethical marketing project was born. aimed at allocating economic proceeds to the restoration of the Veneto woods affected by the Vaia storm, through a program of awareness and ecological and social responsibility conceived and promoted by our friends and partners at Sbalchiero & Partners.
The main theme of the event was to promote a discussion between companies and institutions on the possibility of implementing effective and incisive interventions that place the environment and sustainable development at the center. In addition to Manaly and Sbalchiero & Partners, Veneto Agriculture and PEFC Italia were institutional partners who supported the project and Raffaella Fagnoni, full professor of industrial design at the IUAV and expert in social and environmental design.
In Italy, forests cover 36.4% of the surface, but there is a lack of suitable policies to allow the forest sector to take off. Suffice it to say that Italy imports over 20 million tons of wood a year (often of non-transparent origin), equal to almost 80% of the total used in our country. This is what emerges from the “First national report on the state of forests and the forestry sector” which tells of a market far below the European averages.
The hope is to be able to transform the isolated case of "Il Bosco in Spiaggia" into a broader and national program called "Il Bosco Solidale", with the aim of enhancing local wood, raising awareness of businesses and consumers through initiatives social networks, certified supply chains and eco-sustainable products.
