Our Story
When everything started
In 1974, Antônio Samorano gave the first step and started working in the furniture business.
The first house
Twenty years later, the first upholstered furniture factory was inaugurated. Back then, the production was oriented to leather sofas, but already focused on the high-quality furniture market.
The change happens
In 1998, Century is officially founded, focusing on the production of high-quality sofas.
The price of growth
Fourteen years later, Century’s vertiginous growth required more manpower. Therefore, to satisfy such demand and increase its production capacity, we transferred our activities to the current factory, located in Sarandi-PR.
The mission continues
With every challenge inherent in the 20th century, in 2019, Julio Samorano gave to his children, Julio Cesar and Nathalia Samorano, the mission of bringing comfort to all and leading Century into a more modern world.
New moment, new challenges
Century launches its new brand and adjusts the company’s positioning to the new times. In 2020, we started exporting our products to sixteen countries, and an expressive investment was made in the company’s digitalization, with a new website, new industry tools, new machinery, and a new Administrative Center. The result? A 180% growth in one year.
A great and comfortable horizon
Noticing the demand growth and the wish to do more and grow even more, the works in Century’s new industrial park are scheduled to finished in 2023,
with twice the size of the built area and more than the double of the current production capacity and staff.
