Giuseppe & Paolo Fedegari

What does growth mean for us?

It means becoming aware that we have begun a journey based on the will to understand where we are and then to decide where we want to arrive.

At Fedegari, not only have we decided long ago where we want to arrive, but also how.

Without any commercial shortcut, we simply started from our experience.

Over 60 years of practical experience, spent constantly trying to understand in depth, how things work. From raw material to components. Machines to processes. Mechanics to electronics. Accessories to handling systems. Process controllers to robots.

For years we have manufactured process machines whose performances are unequalled to this day. Now we are able to combine these machines into integrated systems for which we guarantee overall performance. Systems that are always different but use the same elements in order to ensure, with a holistic model, a reliability that cannot be achieved by combining machines that merely share a logo but are manufactured by different factories.

Every additional process or product is engineered in its finest detail; analyzed and integrated into the same production logic.

This is what a true integrated system means for us: a set of elements that work in perfect harmony because they follow a single model. Machines designed and built by the same people, using the same components, the same knowledge and the same logic. All managed by a single process controller.

We needed this experience first to make such a leap. Ripeness is all, as Shakespeare said. No improvisation. Our goal is always the same: to be the best.

And while machines and processes become ever more complex, to make sure that our clients know how to utilize to the fullest extent the capabilities of our systems, we have organized technology support centers in various parts of the world. Our aim is to be even closer to our clients, to share with them our experience in a practical and realistic way: by getting one’s hands dirty on the machines.

Ultimately, this is the only effective way to learn; again no shortcuts.

Growing implies making mistakes; falling down and getting up again, reinventing one-self and learning with relentless commitment.

Every day is a fight. Every project is a marvelous, invigorating challenge.

It takes boldness to grow, because our market tends to reject innovation due to the risks that it entails.

We are not afraid to propose ambitious changes and we are ready to bet our name to build the future. Not just a company name, but the name of our family, because our parents taught us that if we make a commitment we – personally – are the ones who must guarantee it. Always.

The workshop. The place where values materialize. Where shapeless raw material, one step at a time, takes the form of many components, those of which progressively become a complex mechanism with a life of its own. Every machine is one of a kind. A little industrial masterpiece.

Our passion for challenge is the greatest teaching that we inherited from the founders. We were taught that we can always do more; we can always get closer to perfection. The history of our family has demonstrated that it is necessary to experiment, to create and recreate in order to improve and innovate constantly.

A tradition since ever.We are crafters in our genes; our goal, today as always, is to ensure maximum performance. Far from being a slogan, this is a business model. It is the only possible way to understand every element that controls the process. Understanding these mechanisms is the essential foundation on which knowledge develops. Without this experience, there are only platitudes to charm those who think they have nothing to learn. The tangible benefits are many and the market has confirmed this to us. Without extraordinary commitment, no challenge can be won. This is the challenge of our life. A challenge to face every day…with passion.

Nothing is left to chance. Overall performance is the sum of the performances of all elements. Everything that we don’t understand hinders us in winning our challenge. Experimentation all the time, because research, like human curiosity, can never be stopped.

The value of experience.The company brings with it all the value of the past, of the work done by its founders and by the people who have run it up to now; all strongly convinced that time and patience are indispensable, just like with fine winemaking. In Fedegari, there is a strong internal awareness of creating reliable and durable products in which setup and testing too, require a period of time that is proportionate to the importance of the goal being sought.

The difference of our approach and the typical values of an Italian family-run business, characterize every one of our products and make it unique. In Italy there is something that doesn’t exist anywhere else; something inspired by craftsmanship and genius and always different. The best way to be Italian is to live every day in the adventure of being different; of being unique.

Made in Italy, with passion.While many Western entrepreneurs have relocated their production to countries where labor costs are lower, Fedegari still manufactures in Italy, with pride.

A company like this could only be born here. At its core, Fedegari, more than an industrial company, is a large workshop of craftsmen, because building sophisticated machines and all their components requires making everyday choices that are beyond the scope of the entrepreneurial rationality that currently prevails in a capitalistic society.

It requires investing in personnel training more than may appear economically convenient. We introduce young people with high potential and allow them to gain experience, for years. Then, slowly, this investment begins to bear fruit, giving rise to tightly bonded teams. This is why we could never relocate our manufacturing merely to achieve savings.

Machine performance can no longer be sufficient as a future challenge in a market, which, due to a growing lack of practical experience, tends to consider these machines as a commodity. To ensure overall performance, we must integrate different machines into a single rational and reliable system that reduces overall operating costs.

The growing complexity of machines and processes is a challenge for the user as well. After-sales services, therefore, are becoming increasingly indispensable to assure productivity. Directly from the headquarters, to branch offices or to a wide network of maintenance centers of our system integrators, we can offer a support system that goes far beyond setup and maintenance. A growing percentage of our services have a high added value and is aimed at supporting validation, customization of processes and maintenance plans, and personnel training.

To be ever closer to our customers, we are opening local offices with specialized staff and spare parts warehouses.

All the systems and machines are managed by the same process controller: Thema4. We designed it and we continue to develop it in-house. Approximately 15 years after its introduction, we have accumulated the equivalent of over one man-century of work

…and it is still unrivaled in terms of performance, safety and reliability.

Our growth strategy demands an increasingly close relationship with our customers. This is why we have established technology centers in various parts of the globe, to teach our customers how to use their machines to the full extent of their capabilities. Our machines and our process controllers are installed at these centers in order to simulate, together with skilled technicians, the operating conditions that would otherwise require stopping production.A new training division travels among the centers to share our knowledge with all those who wish to learn for growing.

“People forget how fast you did a job - but they rememberperfectly how well you did it.” (Howard Newton)

What sets a job done well aside? The commitment invested and constantly asking ourselves, what we would want from the supplier if we were the customer.

When discussing industrial goods, the answer is less obvious than one may think. In any case, we all would like maximum commitment and this, leaving words aside, must come from all the men and women in our company. This is the reason why the family, too, has an operational role, to ensure everyone’s commitment, every day.
