Forty years is not just an anniversary. It is a story that takes shape over time, made up of choices, relationships, and vision. In 2026, FIMET 40 years of activity, an anniversary that represents much more than a chronological milestone: it is the story of an Italian family business that has been able to evolve while remaining faithful to its founding values.
FIMET in 1986 based on an idea by Vittore Bianchi, in a manufacturing context where quality craftsmanship and technical expertise were – and still are – the true heart of Italian manufacturing. From the outset, the company has stood out for its practical approach, focused on the product, functionality, and attention to detail, building a solid identity over time in the Made in Italy designer handle sector.
Today, FIMET led by Vittore Bianchi together with his children Marica and Luca, protagonists of a generational continuity that has not limited itself to preserving the past, but has reinterpreted it in a contemporary key. A virtuous example of how family businesses can grow by integrating new skills, visions, and sensibilities, while maintaining a strong connection to their roots.
People have always been at the heart of this story. Employees, technicians, designers, and partners who, with their experience and professionalism, have contributed to building a wealth of shared knowledge. For FIMET, innovation has never been separated from experience: it is the result of knowledge that accumulates over time, evolves, and is passed on.
This approach is reflected in an authentic vision of Made in Italy, understood not as a simple label, but as a synthesis of expertise, industrial culture, and human skill. It is the quality of people's work, combined with knowledge of materials and processes, that makes a product truly Italian and recognizable.
Symbolically representing this important anniversary is the '86 handle, recently added to the catalog. Designed in collaboration with architect and designer Robby Cantarutti, '86 is not just a new product, but a statement of intent: an essential, measured object in which design and function interact in a balanced way. Its selection as a symbol of FIMET 40th anniversary FIMET a synthesis of the company's values and its desire to look to the future with consistency and awareness.
Celebrating forty years means recognizing the path we have taken and, at the same time, continuing to invest in innovation, people, and quality. For FIMET, the future stems from experience and is built every day, with the same spirit that has guided the company from 1986 to today.
