Building on 300
years of manufacturing heritage, Fassa Bortolo is one of the leading companies
in external rendering and integrated building solutions.
A historic name in
the world of construction, Fassa was founded in 1710 in Spresiano, Italy. This
family-owned business continues to prides itself on the quality of its
products, as well as its commitment to ethical quarrying and raising the bar
for innovation.
Offering a number of
render systems for any build, new or old, Fassa has a total of 18 production
facilities across Europe, employing more than 1,000 members of staff in
countries including the UK, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. With
a concrete set of values, Fassa continues its legacy in the same way it always
has, through respect, care and quality for its people, products and the
environment.
Fassa has made a
huge commitment to its environmental responsibilities, gathering its raw
materials as sustainably as possible and processing them within 60km of the
quarry. Two key components are mined from the land; calcium carbonate (lime)
and gypsum, both of which are extracted with the most advanced quarrying
technologies. Currently, Fassa’s limestone and gypsum quarries are products of
environmental remediation, whereby the excavated land will be reused at the end
of their operation.
Fassa understands
research is essential to improve and develop its products, which is why the
company operates its own dedicated research facility in Italy. An advanced
laboratory with cutting-edge equipment, researchers study the raw materials to
create formulations which guarantee superior quality.
After centuries of
product development, Fassa offers a vast range of systems and products to meet
the needs of the UK building industry with a solution for every project, from
small build projects to large construction sites. Since the start of UK trading
in 2014, a number of Fassa systems and products have also been awarded British
Board of Agrément (BBA) Certification to extend the offering of Italian
manufactured systems to the British market.
