What Fait Plast does

Fait Plast S.p.A. is an Italian manufacturer of high-performance technical thermoplastic films, founded in 1965 and headquartered in Cellatica (Brescia), in northern Italy. The company operates a single integrated production site and runs five branded product families: Easy System (decorative and coloured multilayer films for footwear and orthopaedic applications), Faiterm (thermoadhesive films with high washing resistance for garment and shoe decoration), Faitgom (TPU water-barrier films for shoes and inflatables), Faitex (waterproof breathable hydrophilic membranes from 5 micron thickness for sportswear, medical, military and safety applications), and Faitech (specialty technical films including gas/chemical barrier, blackout/dim-out, PVC-free, antislip, sublimation-resistant, super-elastic, RFID and temperature-resistant films). Underlying capabilities are rooted in proprietary polymer-to-film engineering know-how built over 60 years, in-house R&D, and zero-footprint production policy.

The company sells exclusively on a B2B basis to industrial customers in footwear, sportswear and apparel, automotive, medical/healthcare, marine, food, and window-covering markets, using a consultative, engineering-driven direct-sales model. Revenue is generated through custom-quoted, application-specific film supply, typically under multi-year contracts, with no public price list and no disclosed distribution intermediaries. Marketing and lead generation rely on the company website, a contact/landing page, and trade fair participation (including Stuttgart). Fait Plast is a single-shareholder company (Società con unico socio) with €3,000,000 fully paid-up share capital, subject to the direction and coordination of Flex Composite Group SA, which exercises parent-level control following the 2019 ORCA Group quadruple acquisition.
