What Fab does

Fab Group is a privately held Italian aluminium die casting manufacturer founded in 1988 by Luciano Bedin in Brendola (Vicenza). The group operates through three wholly-owned production entities: F.A.B. SRL in Italy (Brendola and Vicenza), BCB s.r.o. in Slovakia (Galanta, since 1999), and ITA Foundry s.a. in Portugal (Moreira Maia near Porto, since 2022). Across these facilities the group runs 20 automated die casting cells (300 to 1,600 tons clamping force) and 22 gravity casting machines, processing over 9,000 tons of aluminium annually.

The group's core offering comprises High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) and Gravity Casting of aluminium components, supported by in-house finishing (sandblasting, tumbling, coating, cataphoresis, heat treatment, anodizing), CNC machining, assembly, and advanced quality control using ZEISS BOSELLO 2D X-ray and 3D tomography systems with Automatic Defect Recognition (ADR), Hexagon GLOBAL Scan+ 3D measurement, 3D printing for prototyping, and 200 kN electromechanical testing. All three plants operate a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) integrated with proprietary Sfera management software for real-time production monitoring and process optimization, and the group holds IATF 16949 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications across all three entities.

Fab Group is a B2B contract manufacturer serving 13 industrial end-markets — primarily automotive, with electric motors, pumps, gear motors, automation, oil and gas, burners, food industry, gas reducers, electricals, generators, urban furnishing, and furnishing as secondary segments. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts priced on specification, volume, and complexity (no public pricing), acquired via direct enterprise sales engagement with customer engineering teams, industry trade fairs, and a multilingual website covering Italian, English, German, Portuguese, French, and Slovak. The group is founder-controlled with no disclosed institutional shareholders, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Nemak: Mexican-headquartered global leader in aluminium die casting, primarily serving automotive OEMs for engine, transmission and structural lightweighting components. Closest large-scale analogue to FAB in product mix (HPDC aluminium castings), customer base (European OEMs), and end-market focus.
• Dynacast: Form Technologies-owned global precision die caster producing aluminium and zinc components for automotive, industrial and electronics customers. Closely matches FAB on small-to-medium-series precision casting with tight tolerances and broad end-market coverage.
• GF Casting Solutions: Swiss precision casting division of Georg Fischer, producing aluminium and iron castings for automotive and industrial customers across Europe. Direct competitor on high-precision European automotive supply and overlapping in CNC machining and assembly as part of the casting offering.
• Martinrea International: Canadian Tier-1 automotive supplier with significant aluminium die casting operations for lightweighting and structural components. Highly comparable on automotive HPDC focus, vertical integration philosophy, and multi-site European operations.
• Shiloh Industries: US-based specialist in aluminium and magnesium die castings and lightweighting solutions for automotive NVH and structural applications. Comparable on the lightweighting technology stack and automotive Tier-1 qualification profile.

Broad incumbents

• Trimet Aluminium: German primary aluminium producer with integrated casting operations serving automotive and industrial customers. Overlaps with FAB on aluminium supply and casting but adds primary smelting scale on top of casting.
• Ronal Group: Swiss-headquartered aluminium wheel and lightweight components supplier serving automotive OEMs globally. Overlaps with FAB on European aluminium lightweighting but with a focused wheel product rather than broad industrial casting mix.

Others

• Italpresse Gauss: Italian manufacturer of high-pressure die casting machines and automation cells — the very equipment class (300–1,600 ton cells) that FAB operates at its three plants. Included as the closest enabling/supply-chain participant rather than a direct competitor for casting contracts.
• Rheinmetall (Kolbenschmidt Pierburg): German-listed Tier-1 automotive/industrial supplier whose Kolbenschmidt Pierburg division operates large aluminium and zinc die casting operations for engine, transmission and pump housings. Much larger scale and broader portfolio but directly competes for similar casting specifications.

Emerging players

• Endurance Technologies: Indian aluminium die casting supplier for global automotive and two-wheeler OEMs, with European operations expanding. Direct product overlap but much larger scale and aggressive cost positioning relative to FAB.
