Valiani Innovation
Valiani company is continuously working to introduce radical and incremental changes
in the framing industry and to achieve the highest possible quality in terms of machines

Franco Valiani and his team have spent over than 30 years
studying and developing mat cutting tools to help custom framers with their creations
and their efforts are truly appreciated world-wide.
In 2008 our creativity was corroborated by Fine Art Trade Guild, whose members decided to honour Valiani with their annual Innovation Award, thanks to the Interchangeable Heads System, which is a totally new, different and extremely innovative technology: one machine working as six! Not an insignificant change! And we foresee more options in the near future…
