All production sites are equipped with modern vertical and horizontal coating systems, as well as wood-effect decoration technologies, enabling DFV to offer a wide range of high-quality colours to several thousand customers, including window fabricators, aluminum profile distributors, manufacturers, and system designers for residential and industrial architecture.
DFV’s product range includes classic and special RAL colours, wood-effect coatings, and decorative finishes.

The Companies collaborate for the realisation of wood-effect products, many speckled effect coatings, now also developed in Qualicoat Class 2 version, and the whole range of finishes for architectural. The Syntha Pulvin® powders used by DFV are suitable for architectural use and are Qualicoat and GSB approved. 

THE SUSTAINABLE WORLD OF DFV COLOUR

DFV has developed an innovative and sustainable production model, “Made DFV,” implemented across all its Italian and international facilities. This model involves the entire aluminum supply chain, from profile extrusion to coating and building systems.
A strong focus on quality, technological innovation, and energy consumption optimization is a cornerstone of the company’s strategy.
DFV plants are equipped with large automated and compactable warehouses directly connected to the coating lines, optimizing material storage and handling.
Multi-column automated warehouses located next to the coating booths allow powder coating boxes to be stored close to the point of use. This enables operators to independently retrieve the required amount of raw material when needed, reducing downtime and minimizing picking or identification errors.
Careful planning and strict control of every stage of the production process from picking raw aluminum profiles to packaging the coated ones ensure efficiency and high quality of the finished product, verified daily through tests and sampling on each production batch.
The adoption of innovative product practices, such as patented wood-effect decoration technologies Ezy® and the use of Class 2 powders, allows the development of high-performance aesthetic and functional solutions, with a certified and guaranteed lifespan of up to 15 years.
