The Sile S.p.A. administrative headquarters is the symbol of the Company's modus operandi.The headquarters was built as long ago as 1969 by the Treviso-born architects Facchini and Bandiera, using architectural concepts which are still in the vanguard today and which were inspired by the works of great 20th Century architects like Wright and Le Corbusier. The building is a synthesis of the company management's futuristic vision of what a company should be like.
To enter the unique Sile administrative headquarters is to enter the unique world of Sile's production and admire its current range of products.
The building lies on a bend in the river Sile which is now a nature park. The river not only provided the Company with its name but also inspired the unusual logo with its famous elongated and winding "S".
Sile's care for the environment and desire to offer its employees a "place to work" rather than simply a "place of work" bear witness to the importance the Company has always attached to the quality of life, in terms of how and where it is lived. The product is simply its logical consequence.
The building is an example of the great architectural skill of its creator and of the great vision of Sergio Secco who, in creating a product of industrial value, used the architectural medium to provide a building which symbolised the value of the social and environmental heritage of the region. Thus the building's architecture lies behind the Company's whole communication process, and clearly conveys its philosophy.
The Sile administrative headquarters appears in "Architettura, prima forma di comunicazione d'impresa" (Architecture, the first form of company communication), published by Vianello Libri (Treviso).
