SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 19, 2025 – VAUTH-SAGEL, a global leader in innovative storage solutions, has launched its latest design line, "Ligano," specifically developed to cater to the structural and aesthetic preferences of the North American kitchen market.

By integrating classic wood elements with modern metallic accents, Ligano offers a compelling solution for American kitchen designers, cabinetmakers, and OEMs seeking both style and functional precision.
Strategic Design for a Targeted Market
Crafted from premium maple and birch plywood and finished with the company's signature lava and silver metal accents, Ligano introduces a sophisticated aesthetic while delivering compatibility with a wide range of cabinet systems. This design-conscious approach allows seamless plug-and-play integration of VAUTH-SAGEL’s flagship internal storage solutions into kitchens designed for American preferences.
