Dear Friends and Clients of M2L,

I wanted to reach out to you to let you know that M2L is withdrawing from Cassina distribution.

In 1992 when I established M2L, my mission was to bring my concept of modern, genuine design to the architectural and interior professional. To represent leading edge brands whose mission was to compete in the design process at the highest level. The companies I select must be committed to consistently presenting fresh, modern, design, produced with the proper marriage of technology and fine hand craftsmanship. We are vigilant in maintaining the standards of our offerings… certifying percentage of production origin, and expecting our brands to avoid 'the process of sameness' by not distributing at a level that commoditizes their brands. M2L's A&D clients look to us as a  leader… a distribution partner totally committed to added value. A brand that will not compromise the trust and expectations of our valued clients for short term gain.

I have always lived by the principal that the client decides who succeeds. A visit to our showrooms or website will underscore the excellence of our brand partners that include: Artek, Artifort, Walter Knoll, de sede, Montis, Galotti… the list goes on.

I want to especially thank the A&D community, as M2L begins our third decade in business, for recognizing our value to the process of design. It is with sadness that we withdraw from Cassina distribution but our success must always be based on our guiding principle of being a totally genuine company.

Michael Manes

President

Cassina, Made in Romania

"Cassina is an unusual case because, differently from the other companies that are in a critical period and that were helped by the Regione Lombardia, is absolutely healthy and the 2010 was profitable", Gibelli said during the meeting ti discuss the planned move to Romania of some important production steps.
"I really don't understand the reasons of this decision, clearly motivated only by financials reasons, since in Romania there is absolutely no product culture and skilled craftsmanship, typical of Brianza".
"This move is a very critical choice, and I really hope that the Frau management will rethink about it as any financial benefit is risking to be offset by a loss of quality and, above all, by a loss of local labor".
"I invite everybody to make a deeper consideration, and I hope that Montezemolo, the largest shareholder of the group, who always put the "Made in Italy" as a staple of his entrepreneurial activity, will protect the prestige and the name of Cassina, because the move to Romania will surely damage its prestige".
