Faicom

What Faicom does

Faicom S.r.l. is a family-owned Italian industrial automation system integrator headquartered in Cepagatti (Pescara), tracing its origins to a 1992 sole proprietorship and formally incorporated in 1996. The company designs and builds custom turnkey automation systems, including robotic islands (using ABB, DENSO, COMAU and FANUC robots), low-voltage electrical panels (with Siemens, Rockwell and Telemecanique PLCs), special machines for assembly, testing and packaging, vision-based quality inspection stations, loss-in-weight dosing systems, and revamping of legacy equipment under EU Machinery Directives. Engineering services span mechanical, electrical/pneumatic and PLC/HMI software design, executed against IEC-61131-3 standards.

The business operates a project-based, direct enterprise sales model with custom quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Revenue is generated from custom automation systems, engineering and design services, component commercialization, and spare parts supply. Faicom serves mid-to-large industrial manufacturers across pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and beverage, automotive, electrical/mechanical manufacturing, and logistics verticals. Disclosed reference customers include Camozzi, Tecnomatic, Andritz, Barberini Spa and Locioni Group, with Camozzi representing a long-standing strategic anchor since 2015 — including a 2022 Industry 4.0-enabled assembly line for pneumatic cylinder heads that doubled production output. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001 certifications and operates from a single ~1,000sqm covered workshop in Abruzzo, with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external investors, parent entities or subsidiaries.
