Faccin

What Faccin does

Faccin S.r.l. is a privately held Italian industrial electrical engineering and automation firm founded in 1978 by Loredano Faccin and headquartered in Zanè, in the province of Vicenza. The company designs, builds, and commissions bespoke electrical systems, control panels, and software for industrial machines and production plants, with capabilities spanning PLC programming (Siemens, Omron, Schneider, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff), HMI/SCADA development, MES and ERP integration, and Industry 4.0 connectivity. It holds UL508A certification for North American markets and operates in ATEX-classified hazardous environments, executing on-site installation and commissioning both domestically and internationally.

The company's customer base is concentrated in three B2B segments: special machine builders outsourcing electrical and control work, engineering design studios requiring an execution partner, and manufacturers of automatic equipment needing third-party panel construction. Pricing is entirely project-based and quote-driven, with engagements ranging from short wiring jobs to multi-year, complex plant automation projects — including documented installations involving 7,000+ I/O points, chemical reactor control rooms, automated milling islands with robotic loading and machine vision, and revamps of legacy industrial machinery. Revenue is generated through five streams: custom electrical design and installation, control software development, testing/commissioning/maintenance, revamping/retrofit projects, and complementary photovoltaic and building systems. The firm maintains a 24-hour teleassistance service and positions its multi-decade expertise and certification footprint as primary differentiators.
