What FIMO does
FIMO S.p.A. is an Italian industrial components distributor and system integrator headquartered in Sassuolo, in the Emilia-Romagna region. Founded in 1969 as TASSI & FONTANA by Sergio Tassi and Giulio Fontana, the company originally supplied rubber products, plastics, and transmission belts to the local ceramics industry and has since expanded into a multi-category industrial supplier serving Italian manufacturers across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, compressed air, cooling, painting, and acoustic/vibration domains.
The company operates through eight wholly-owned subsidiaries (MOTECH, FIM, FIBO, OILTECH, Gozzi, B&G Automazioni, L.E.Ferrari, and ACFI) that collectively extend its capabilities into power transmission manufacturing, hydraulic power unit design, pneumatic automation, industrial control systems and robot programming, electromechanical repair, and air filtration. FIMO serves as an authorized distributor for major global brands including Atlas Copco, SMC, Beko, Aignep, ROSSI, ABB, and Delta Electronics, and sells proprietary branded product lines including the ENEA family of oil cooling systems, FIMOFiber acoustic panels, AIRScan acoustic camera, and Smartlink compressed air monitoring.
Revenue is generated through four streams: industrial component distribution (one-time product sales with distribution margins), technical service and maintenance contracts including emergency compressed air service, custom system design and engineering for hydraulic and automation installations, and compressed air system sales and servicing. The business operates on a quote-based, multi-year contract model with no public pricing, reaching customers through direct B2B field sales, technical consulting, and authorized dealer channels. In June 2025, FIMO became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Axel Johnson International while maintaining its operating identity.
