What FASI Engineering does

FASI Engineering Srl is a privately held Italian specialist engineering services firm founded in 2003 by Roberto Di Lonardo and headquartered in Turin, with a representative office in Munich opened in 2018. The company provides cold stamping process engineering — feasibility studies, method development, die design, FEM structural calculation, Full-Cycle simulation, and reverse engineering / 3D scanning — to European automotive OEMs and Tier 1 stamping suppliers, following standards of PSA, BMW, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel, and FCA. Through wholly owned subsidiary TMP Srl (founded 2007), FASI also operates four large CNC machines producing polystyrene patterns for foundries, allowing the firm to deliver an end-to-end package from co-design and feasibility through physical foundry pattern construction.

Commercially, FASI runs a project-based professional services model with direct enterprise sales into European automakers and die shops, supported by multilingual coverage (English, German, French, Italian) and approximately 50% of revenue from exports. The firm employs 30+ specialized technicians, maintains ISO 9001:2008 certification (TÜV Rheinland), and runs an internal CAD-3D training pipeline (selecting four candidates per cycle from cohorts of eight for 36-month apprenticeships) to replenish its specialist talent base. The company survived a complete operational halt in early 2009 during the financial crisis, relocated near Fiat in Turin in 2011 to relaunch with international ambitions, and reported continued operations through the COVID-19 period with a fast pivot to smart working.

Customer-facing technology centers on Autoform-based sheet-metal deformation simulation, proprietary Full-Cycle simulation methodology, springback analysis with automatic compensation, and 3D digitization workflows. Distribution is direct-enterprise only via the Turin headquarters and Munich representative office; no public SaaS, API, or productized software surface was identified. The company self-describes as 'among the largest and most structured engineering companies in Europe' for cold stamping services, though no external validation of that ranking is available in the input data.

Products and services

• Co-design and Feasibility Study Services Engineering consulting service guiding automotive clients through co-design and feasibility analysis from initial concept through to industrial feasibility assessment, analyzing CAD 3D models to determine whether a component can be efficiently manufactured via cold stamping for sheet steel or aluminum. Intended for European automotive OEMs and Tier 1/Tier 2 stamping die manufacturers at the start of new stamping programs.
• Method Development and Process Simulation Services Engineering methodology development and incremental stamping process simulation services for the automotive sector, including springback analysis after trimming using Autoform software. Aimed at verifying simulation results and eliminating stamping defects (such as cracks, wrinkles, and dimensional inaccuracies) before tool fabrication.
• Full-Cycle Stamping Simulation Services Virtual reproduction of the entire stamping process across all phases — including drawing, trimming, and complex form operations — to identify potential breakages, aesthetic defects, and dimensional issues before physical production. Enables automotive OEMs and die makers to prevent critical problems prior to committing to production tooling.
• Die Design and 3D Printing Services Die design services for prototypes and automatic production lines following European OEM standards (PSA, BMW, VW, Ford, Opel, FCA), including virtual kinematic analysis of components and the use of 3D printing for sharing technical choices. Targeted at European automotive OEMs commissioning new stamping die programs.
• Polystyrene Pattern Manufacturing Services CNC milling services for polystyrene models used by foundries to cast stamping tooling and related components. Delivered via subsidiary TMP Srl (founded 2007) using four large CNC machines (two 5000x2900x1500mm and two 6000x2900x1500mm) enabling complex shapes and large dimensions. Available to automotive stamping die suppliers and foundries.
• Reverse Engineering Services 3D digitization of physical objects to carry out analysis or computer remodelling using specific software. Enables reconstruction and analysis of existing components for automotive clients needing to replicate or improve legacy stamped parts.

Broad incumbents

• FEV Group: Germany-headquartered automotive engineering services provider specializing in powertrain, vehicle, and drivetrain development, with tooling and manufacturing engineering adjacencies. Comparable to FASI as a European automotive engineering services firm serving major OEMs, though at much larger scale.
• Akkodis (formerly AKKA Technologies): European engineering and digital services firm with deep automotive OEM relationships across Germany, France, and Italy. Comparable to FASI as a European automotive engineering services competitor, though much larger and operating across mechanical, electrical, and software engineering disciplines.
• Bertrandt: German automotive engineering services firm offering development support across body, powertrain, and electronics to OEMs. Operates in the same European automotive engineering services market as FASI, with a similar direct-to-OEM enterprise sales motion, though broader in scope.
• Magna Steyr: Austrian automotive engineering, tooling, and contract manufacturing division of Magna International, supplying complete vehicle development and stamping/tooling capabilities to global OEMs. Much larger and broader than FASI but overlapping in stamping die engineering and automotive OEM services in Europe.
• EDAG: Germany-based global engineering services firm serving automotive OEMs with vehicle development, production systems, and tooling/die engineering. Larger and broader than FASI, but the most directly comparable European competitor in automotive engineering services including stamping-related tooling work.

Direct peers

• Italdesign: Turin-headquartered automotive design, engineering, and prototyping services firm serving OEMs worldwide. Highly comparable to FASI given shared Turin location, automotive-only focus, and enterprise sales to the same European OEM customer base, though significantly larger and broader in scope.
• Riba Group: Italian metal stamping and tooling group supplying automotive structural components and dies. The closest direct peer to FASI given its Italian base, automotive focus, and overlap in stamping/die-making capabilities — Riba is a customer-side supplier where FASI operates as the engineering services provider.
• Pininfarina: Italian automotive design and engineering services firm headquartered near Turin, serving global OEMs with vehicle styling, engineering, and concept-to-production support. Comparable to FASI as a Turin-area Italian automotive engineering boutique serving premium OEMs, with overlapping enterprise sales motion.

Others

• Capgemini Engineering: Global engineering services arm of Capgemini (formerly Altran) with extensive automotive OEM relationships across Europe. Adjacent rather than directly competing — broader digital and systems engineering focus — but competes for the same enterprise automotive engineering services spend FASI addresses.
