FEMM CELEBRATES ITS 45TH ANNIVERSARY

It is not every day that we celebrate 45 years of existence. Italy’s FEMM, a leading manufacturer of metal and plastic components and accessories for industrial packaging, is celebrating its anniversary.

Based on the outskirts of Reggio Emilia in Italy, the plant was started four decades ago thanks to the experience gained by the future owners after working for a can manufacturing company, which encouraged the new entrepreneurs to strike out on their own and found FEMM. Although it started completely from scratch and without financial resources, the company leveraged the skills and enthusiasm of its four founders to continue to grow.

The company is currently supplying mainly three-piece cans for the chemical, paint, oil and lubricant industries to industrial manufacturers worldwide. “The market assumption that prompted them to establish the company turned out to be correct. At the time, the evolution of the metal packaging industry was driving companies to optimize their manufacturing processes to maximize the marginal utility of each resource used,” the company says.

In addition, FEMM is a leading manufacturer of metal and plastic packaging accessories and continues to successfully export its products worldwide. Skills in management, machine engineering, manufacturing cycles and processes, and sales and marketing remain the main hallmarks of the Italian company.
