Orlandi Statuary celebrates 100th anniversary

Orlandi Statuary, a Chicago-based company that specializes in elegantly crafted statues, planters, wall art and more, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2011. Here's a letter from company representative Bianca Orlandi to retailers telling them the Orlandi Statuary story and inviting them to share in commemorating the milestone:

We are celebrating our 100th year in business! In 2011, the Orlandi Statuary Company is celebrating a century of expertise in manufacturing and design. In honor of our centennial we are offering show specials, freight incentives and discounts. At last our 100 year Anniversary!

In 1911 our great uncle Egisto Orlandi traveled from Lucca, Italy to Chicago, Illinois where he founded Orlandi Statuary. Because he took great pride in his craft and reputation, Orlandi’s casting soon set the industry standard of excellence. Artists, interior designers and museums relied upon the careful detailing and impeccable quality standards he demanded. Over the years Orlandi Statuary has evolved into a company supplying much more than statuary. Today our repertoire encompasses many collections including: Fiber Stone for the garden, Religious Statuary, Fountains, Columns and Pedestals. Our factory and showroom are still proudly located in Chicago where our staff of sculptors, artisans, mold-makers and casters handcraft unique designs and apply their talents to even the most custom orders.

The Orlandi family continues to be competitive while expanding our collections to meet the design trends of the 21st century. Four generations of experience and knowledge mean we can meet your most challenging demands. We look forward to showing you why, after 100 years, we remain an industry icon.

Sincerely,
Bianca Orlandi
