65 years of quality and innovation
1954 - 1980
In January 1954 Carlo Civera, together with his wife Maria, opened a small workshop in Contrada Santa Croce, Brescia, for the production of artificial plants and natural seeds in wood. Its rapid expansion led him, in less than a year, to purchase the adjacent workshop and transform it into a high-class showroom.
This is how the history of Carlo Civera began, a company for which the most exciting challenge has always been the ability to continuously improve every aspect of its business.

1980 - 1990
The 80's represent an important milestone. Carlo Civera acquired the industrial and financial solidity to specialize in a sector that was still unknown to many, thus refining production techniques and improving the quality of the materials used to create artificial and semi-natural plants. During these years, Carlo is also supported by the artistic skills of his daughter Tiziana.
The company continues its expansion by securing important contracts in the fashion, film, hotel and banking sectors. In 1985, Carlo Civera broadened his offer by introducing artificial flowers, made with innovative materials at the time. Thanks to this innovation, the company acquires notoriety in the field of Floral Design.

1990-2000
Faced with continued growth, in 1990 the building in Via dei Mille 20D in Brescia was renovated and the Contrada Santa Croce office was closed, as it was too small for the sales volumes at the time. Carlo Civera can now enjoy a 1000 square meter space which includes a laboratory equipped with the latest technologies, a high-class showroom and executive offices. This expansion increases the notoriety of the company not only in Brescia and its province but also in all of northern Italy.
In these years, Carlo Civera receives important orders for clients such as Banca d'Italia, Frabosk and INA Assitalia, who increasingly request the design of zero-maintenance artificial green areas for headquarters and offices.

2000 - 2008
Carlo Civera, over the years, has always experimented with new ways to introduce nature into artificial spaces. This "green" philosophy led in 2005 to the idea of using preserved natural lichen to create indoor green walls and zero-maintenance vegetable panels. Thanks to an innovative process that replaces the sap with a non-toxic, completely biodegradable product, the plant panels and stabilized lichen walls created by Carlo Civera maintain their appearance for more than 8 years.

2009 - 2018
Thanks to the experience gained in 50 years of activity,in 2009 Carlo Civera introduced to the market his own vertical vardens made with the same artificial plants that made the company so successful. This innovation greatly expanded the brand's notoriety, making Carlo Civera the point of reference for designers and architects for the decoration of green areas.
In 2010, the company expanded abroad by opening a sales office in Spain. Here large orders that made the company known for the high quality of its products are managed.
