What Sifa does

Sifa is an Italian industrial manufacturer of professional furniture and refrigerated display equipment for the Food & Horeca sector, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Bellocchi (Pesaro). The company designs and produces bar counters, refrigerated and neutral display cases, modular back-bar systems, and food-service counters for bars, cafés, pastry shops, ice cream parlors, bakeries, delicatessens, butchers, and small-format grocery retailers. Its product portfolio is organized into named lines including KUADRO, DOUBLE, FLUX, INFINITY, HORUS, ICON, COMPOSER, MARLEY, GRAVITY, GLAMOUR, MISS, FIRST, VEGA, PROMOTER, NOEMI, and the more affordable Sinthesi sub-line, with the Multiline Collection 3.0 launched in 2025 as a cross-segment refresh. Core technical competencies lie in modular industrial design, multiple commercial refrigeration systems (ventilated, static, glycol), and compliance with European safety, hygiene, and environmental regulations.

Sifa operates a project-based B2B sales motion, engaging clients through design consultation with in-house designers and technicians, custom configuration, and direct delivery with installation support within 3–4 weeks of order confirmation. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company sells both to individual SMBs (local bars, pastry shops, bakeries) and to enterprise-level fit-outs such as airports and hotel chains, with international export activity adapting designs to multiple cultural contexts. Since 2017, Sifa has operated as a subsidiary of Frigomeccanica Srl within Gruppo Arneg, retaining brand autonomy while leveraging the parent group's distribution reach in commercial refrigeration. Marketing is primarily digital, centered on a multilingual website, social media channels, downloadable catalogs, and content marketing aimed at the Food & Horeca design audience.
