we get the idea of using Corten®

“Creatività è unire elementi esistenti con connessioni nuove, che siano utili”

H. Poincaré, Scienza e metodo, 1905

Passion and innovation with one single goal: safety

It all started with the question: how can one keep cyclists and pedestrians safe while avoiding the fast deterioration of wooden fences and railings? Hence the idea of using Corten steel.

Corten was a well-known material and already in use in the construction world but in the beginning, it was not available in those tube-like shapes that are useful for making fences, railings and enclosures.
Cortensafe was founded on this intuition by Manuel Cracco, the owner, together with his brothers Federico and Davide, of Cracco Srl, a company active in the metal carpentry sector since 1988.

  • Safety of cyclists and pedestrians
  • Avoiding the deterioration of wooden fences and railings

  • Use of Corten®

we are pioneers and point of reference in terms of innovation

Cortensafe becomes the pioneer operator

and point of reference in design and production

In just a few years we become a point of reference

Within a few years, the Cortensafe brand becomes a pioneer and Italian benchmark in the design and production of Corten® protection systems: railings and fences are joined by a wide range of accessories (gates, bollards, barriers, etc.).
An affirmation based on the constant commitment to provide targeted answers to every specific need, offering a ‘customisable standard’, like a tailor-made suit.

2022

the range of products expands to include road barriers

Safe, aesthetically pleasing and easy to install barriers

offer: double protection, double benefits

Road barriers

Corten® steel road barriers, which maintain the ‘family feeling’ with other Cortensafe products, are presented to the market: they have smooth finishes and are aesthetically pleasing and maintenance-free.

Our solutions offer three features that no other barrier currently offers together: they act both as road barriers for motor vehicles and as pedestrian restraint systems, and they also protect cyclists and pedestrians travelling on the opposite side.

Now the offer is complete: fences, railings, road barriers and accessories.

our “orange wave” protects more than 200,000 metres

The protective “orange wave” is the colour

of our solutions made with Corten® steel

Orange is the way

In 2023 we roll out a new image and a new pay-off: ‘orange is the way’. More and more people, in fact, as they follow the cycle path or the road in front of them, are accompanied by an ‘orange wave’ that protects them: this is the unmistakable colour of our Corten® steel solutions.

The ‘orange is the way’ philosophy is embodied in original ideas that aim both to improve the safety of cycleways, roads, pedestrian walkways, public parks, and to enhance the urban and suburban landscape. It represents a renewed commitment to realising the projects of public administrations, companies and planners in the simplest, quickest and most beautiful way possible.
Orange is the way is a starting point for imagining a new future.
