Fabbrica Affettatrici Cavaria

The beginnings

In 1961, after seventeen years as a worker and later as a technician with well-known manufacturers of slicing machines, Corrado Lanza, decided to take a chance and left his job to start his own business in Gallarate.
This show-and-sell marketing technique was a big success as orders started to pour in even from abroad. One of the most powerful and long-lasting supports to success, word-to-mouth, opened new markets to Corrado's machines. Now F.A.C. exports more than 50% of its products to Europe, North and South America, Asia, and South Africa

The plant

In 1973, Corrado and his wife Fausta, decided to move to their first real plant, a 200 sqm building in nearby Cavaria. They soon had to add another 200 sqm, then 500, then 1,000.

Although F.A.C. now resorts to outsourcing, their 4.500 sqm assembly plant and 500 sqm stores have become too small again. So the plants were expanded again.

The people at F.A.C

F.A.C. is in the hands of a close-knit family. With an eye to the future, Corrado Lanza had called his young relatives to help him and patiently taught them the basics of slicing machines. The new generation has now stepped in to look after various sectors (administration, marketing, personnel, research, quality control, etc.)
