What FITT does

FITT S.p.A. Società Unipersonale is an Italian industrial group founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sandrigo, Vicenza, that designs, manufactures, and distributes thermoplastic pipes, hoses, and integrated fluid transfer systems for liquids, gases, and solid substances across domestic, professional, and industrial applications. The company operates nine specialized business units (Agriculture, Building, Food & Beverage, Gardening, Industrial, Infrastructure, Marine, Pool & Spa, and Ventilation) and offers a broad product portfolio exceeding 100 SKUs spanning rigid infrastructure pipes (FITT Bluforce, FITT Sewer), flexible spiral hoses (FITT Refittex, FITT Venflex), specialty food-grade and gas-certified hoses, and a flagship consumer gardening line (FITT NTS, FITT Force, FITT Yoyo) built around proprietary NTS (No Torsion System) anti-kink technology and patented odor-proof formulations (Italian Patent N. 102018000006290 for FITT Captive White).

FITT generates revenue through hardware sales of these products via a hybrid go-to-market model: direct-to-consumer e-commerce on fitt.com, an exclusive strategic partnership with The Home Depot in the United States launched in 2020 (FITT Force TPV-based garden hoses, recognized with a 2025 Innovation Award), and a global network of distributors, installers, and dealers across 15 sites in Italy, France, Spain, the United States (with new manufacturing in Anderson, Indiana since 2023), China, Poland, and Monaco. The company employs 101-250 people and is a privately held Benefit Company subject to the direction and coordination of FITT Group S.p.A. Its customer base spans B2C consumers (gardening, pool/spa), B2B distributors and retailers (The Home Depot), and industrial buyers (agriculture, marine, food & beverage, infrastructure, and ventilation sectors).

The company's go-to-market is supported by a strong sustainability and ESG positioning: B Corp Certification (2024), EcoVadis Silver Medal (top 15%, 85th percentile in plastics), Synesgy highest ESG rating for two consecutive years, ESG Awards Achilles 2025 winner in the ESG Evolution category, and UNI/PdR 125:2022 Gender Equality Certification. Recent inorganic moves include the acquisitions of Claber (February 2023, gardening/irrigation) and ATE (February 2024, undisclosed industrial segment), a biomethane production joint initiative via shareholder stake in San Daniele Bioenergia, and a $129 million bank financing round closed in May 2026 with BNL BNP Paribas, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, Crédit Agricole Italia, and UniCredit.
