Facchinetti

What Facchinetti does

Facchinetti srl is a privately held Italian industrial hardware and tools distributor headquartered in Gorgonzola, in the Milan metropolitan area. Founded in 1960 as a neighborhood ferramenta, the company has expanded into a 90+ product-family catalog spanning fasteners, power tools, hand tools, metals, oleohydraulics, pneumatics, hydraulic components, power transmission, workshop furniture, rubber goods, and personal protective equipment. It also distributes branded product lines such as TTake (via partnership with Techno Trade Group) and Abc Tools.

Its business model is a hybrid of retail and wholesale: two brick-and-mortar points of sale — Gorgonzola (the original HQ, housing a dedicated metal-cutting corridor) and Concorezzo (opened in 2011 and specialized in oleodynamics) — supported by a proprietary online catalog at catalogo.facchinetti.tv. The company generates revenue through hardware sales and value-added services including custom metal cutting, oleohydraulic tube assembly and testing, power tool repair, technical training delivered on client sites, custom-branded workwear, and key/remote duplication. Sales and procurement are routed through specialized contacts (Vendite, Acquisti, Amministrazione), and customer support is positioned as consultative rather than transactional.

The customer base is segmented around industrial professionals — tradespeople, mechanics, and businesses with use cases spanning construction, industrial repair, mechanical maintenance, hydraulic system assembly, metalworking, and workplace safety compliance. Operationally, Facchinetti emphasizes technical expertise, breadth of assortment, and after-sales support as its primary differentiators. The company is family-owned (Laura Facchinetti is in administration), has 11–50 employees, is incorporated as an Italian SRL with stated capital of €78,000–€100,000, and operates exclusively in Italy with a geographic concentration in Lombardy. Distribution channels are entirely proprietary (own stores and own catalog) with no third-party reseller or marketplace presence referenced.
