Favaretti Group

What Favaretti Group does

Favaretti Group (legal entity Favaretti s.r.l.) is an Italian private limited company headquartered in Bagnoli di Sopra, in the province of Padua. Founded approximately in 1995, the firm designs, manufactures, and installs custom pool covers, tensile structures for sports, equestrian, and industrial use, and through its Favaretti Padel sub-brand, padel courts and their coverings. The company operates a sales-led, turnkey model in which it handles site inspection, technical consulting, custom design, in-house production, and installation for clients ranging from private residential pool owners to commercial operators, municipalities, sports clubs, and industrial businesses.

The technical backbone centers on three engineering domains: PVC and polycarbonate slat systems for pool covers — including the proprietary Tapproll ENERGY profile with closed-cell polyethylene foam insulation, ultrasonically welded end caps, and 77x15mm dimensions; a dedicated Made-in-Italy manufacturing line for rigid pool covers built specifically for the firm; and engineered tensile structures using hot-galvanized steel frames clad with PVC membrane or insulated sandwich panels, CE marked under EN 1090-1 and compliant with Italian standard UNI8818 for pool cover safety. The Tapproll product line targets over 98% evaporation blocking and 50% reduction in heating boiler usage, while insulated panel retrofits have produced 85% consumption reductions for municipal projects.

Revenue is generated through one-time project sales, custom installations, and professional services across four primary customer segments: private residential pool owners; commercial and public swimming facilities; sports and industrial operators of tensile structures; and padel club operators. Distribution runs through direct-to-consumer website sales, a reseller network for pool cover contractors, and direct enterprise sales for larger municipal and padel arena projects. Reported 2021 operating indicators include a 35% year-over-year turnover increase in the tensile structures segment, a 60% increase in padel cover works, over 1,000 pool covers produced, and 120 padel courts delivered with a stated 2022 target of 400 projects.
