What Fada Quality Service LTDA does

Fada Quality Service LTDA is the Brazilian subsidiary of the Italian-headquartered Fada Group (parent: Fada Quality Service S.r.l., founded 1980 in Naples), an industrial technical-services company specializing in on-site quality, measurement, logistics, and rework support for the automotive manufacturing sector. The group operates across five business units — Metrology, Logistics, Electronics/DIAT (End-of-Line diagnostics and software reflash), Sorting & Rework (including GP12 and CSL containment), and Wiring/Cablaggi — delivered through 19 districts in Italy, Germany, Serbia, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Spain, Turkey, and Brazil. Technology assets include Hexagon DEA Global S coordinate measuring machines, Hexagon Absolute Arm 7-axis scanners, Leica AT960 laser trackers, LTF Microtecnica optical profile projectors, Vector CAN diagnostic tools, Stellantis-specific diagnostic software (Dianalyzer, CDA 6, Diagalyzer), and an internally managed Warehouse Management System; reporting standards include GD&T, PPAP, and FAI.

The company makes money through professional-services contracts — typically B2B, quote-based, and delivered at customer facilities rather than from a centralized location. Revenue streams include dimensional inspection and metrology outsourcing, sorting/rework and containment at supplier and OEM plants, end-of-line electronics diagnosis and vehicle reflash, warehouse and logistics services, and wiring harness inspection and rework. Customer segments are primarily automotive OEMs and Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers, with Stellantis named as a deeply embedded enterprise relationship; secondary segments include production engineering departments, quality and testing departments, and mould/equipment manufacturers. Distribution is direct field sales via district managers embedded in each territory, with no public pricing or transactional channels.
