FIMA CARLO FRATTINI by HIDRO M
The history of FIMA (i.e. Italian acronym of Fabbrica Italiana Miscelatori Accessori) goes hand in hand with that of bathroom furniture and interior design and it is based on three specific values summarizing its design philosophy: #Green #Quality #Design. The Company – established in 1960 by Carlo Frattini – is dynamic, international and absolutely contemporary in nature which is expressed in innovative unique solutions in terms of design, quality and functionality, focusing on the environment and the environmental sustainability.
The FIMA2 factory has been designed in 2016 for a more efficient management of the different production stages with next-generation machinery and systems minimizing energy consumption. The new production building is also powered by the photovoltaic system installed in FIMA since 2011, and it is equipped with an innovative galvanic system with zero emission. It is using trivalent chrome, a non-carcinogenic material that does not produce pollution and significantly reduces the quantity of rejects, instead of hexavalent chrome (used today by 90% of the companies).
Fima knows that the real difference lies in the detail. The selection of the best raw materials, the choice of the most advanced technological processes as well as the rationalisation of the warehouses, the aesthetics of the machineries and the care for the packaging are all design. This attention to detail is the true essence of Fima’s design philosophy.
