A Product Offer for Tailor-made Installations

The design of sales areas is a complex matter. The development of shop-fitting projects faces many constraints, such as budget, time, image, etc. Designers can find on the market a wide choice of solutions for floors, ceilings and lighting. Materials and finishes are infinite and follow either transient or long-term trends.

Once the concept has been defined there still remains the important and difficult task of designing efficient units for the day-to-day display of all kinds of products. A good knowledge of presentation and merchandising systems is required to achieve the desired results.

Thanks to the extent of its offer, SOFADI is able to meet all the constraints of unique, tailor-made projects adapted to the specific needs and activity of each trade.

Various Marketing Circuits

Traditional SOFADI products such as the renowned systems for pharmacies are locally available through domestic hardware distributors. This system offers the advantage of rapidity and proximity.

Ready-to-wear ranges are sold directly to interior fitters, joiners, chains, etc.

Sales abroad follow the same pattern.
