P-System: a revolutionary joining system

Ascari is currently working on a new project to grow the company even further and meet the new challenges that lie ahead. The plan is set to double the area of the company premises and includes the creation of a showroom to present its creations.

Filippo Ascari defines his company as a carpenter's shop centred around high-quality custom-made furniture, with a focus on the needs of the customer. They have never given up in the face of adversity, says Filippo: "For us, nothing is impossible."

Standard furniture, complete with all holes, slots and connections, can be produced in just one step with the Maestro program, a library of programming functions. This state-of-the-art technology results in maximum savings of both time and materials. Machining operations not carried out with the CNC machining centre are done with the Zeta P2 biscuit joiner. Throughout the year, Filippo estimates that between 5,000 and 6,000 joints are used, including Clamex P-14, Tenso P-14 and Divario P-18. "Lamello is cutting-edge! It helps the carpenter improve the various stages of furniture making."

Clamex joints are used in every project for wardrobes, kitchens, bathrooms, bookcases, etc. "When we discovered the benefits of the P-System, we had a meeting with all production employees and decided that, from then on, we'd only ever use Clamex," says Filippo with a smile. "We get on well, also because sometimes there are pieces of furniture that have to be disassembled and sent off for painting. During assembly, for example, a piece can sometimes get damaged, but now we have the option to leave the furniture with the customer and replace only the damaged piece. This benefit both us and the customer," Filippo explains. "Lamello has changed the way we work in carpentry."

The furniture is pre-assembled in the shop, where we check that everything is in conformity. It's then disassembled and painted within two days. Ascari's in-house fitters deliver everything to the customer and the furniture is assembled on site. We asked Filippo if he has ever had to carry out projects that required Lamello products: "Lamello has become our standard. We don't really consider using anything else. In fact, we're looking forward to new innovations!" says Filippo with a smile. "Lamello has revolutionised the carpentry assembly system."
