MIDALPA reduces waste through digital engineering and certified raw materials

MIDALPA, which specialises in bespoke furniture for the premium segment, is strengthening its sustainability strategy through industrial digitalisation and resource optimisation. The company has implemented advanced production technologies to maximise efficiency in cutting materials and is preparing for the full integration of raw materials with international environmental certification (FSC and PEFC). 

As part of this transformation, MIDALPA has adopted 3D technical design and production engineering software that enables the company to accurately calculate the yield from each timber panel before it enters the cutting line, thereby reducing raw material waste.

At the same time, the company is committed to using highly durable materials, such as water-repellent panels and high-quality lacquered finishes, promoting a sustainable alternative to the ‘fast furniture’ model and prioritising solutions designed for greater longevity. 

To consolidate this position, MIDALPA is at an advanced stage of the audit process to obtain FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification, ensuring that all timber used comes from forests managed in a responsible and sustainable manner. 

Patrícia Gaspar, an engineer at MIDALPA, states that “The digitalisation of production enables us to reduce waste, optimise the use of raw materials and respond more precisely to the requirements of high-end hospitality and interior design projects. For MIDALPA, sustainability is not just a trend, but a way of producing with greater responsibility, efficiency and durability.“ 

Founded by Patricia Gaspar, Miguel Fernandes and Daniel Tinoco, MIDALPA was established with the aim of combining expertise in design and industrial joinery, in response to the demand for bespoke technical and decorative furniture solutions. With its own production facility, the company ensures quality control at every stage of the process, from design through to final delivery.
