Farè SpA a socio unico

What Farè SpA a socio unico does

Farè SpA a socio unico, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Fagnano Olona, Lombardia, Italy, designs and manufactures turnkey industrial production lines for synthetic staple fibers and nonwovens based on polymer extrusion. Its product portfolio is organized into two principal categories: staple fiber lines (one-step and two-step processes for monocomponent and bicomponent fibers in solid or hollow sections, processing PP, PE, PET, R-PET, and PLA) and nonwoven lines (fine denier spunbond, coarse denier spunbond, and meltblown systems). Proprietary patented technologies underpin the offering, including SHPT (Spunbond High Performance Technology, 2002), Bicomponent fiber technology (1994), and Dryerless PET Extrusion (2003), which eliminates the polymer drying step and reduces electric power consumption while supporting the use of PET flakes and recycled materials. An Industry 4.0 HMI and predictive maintenance layer is integrated across installed lines.

The company operates within a group structure comprising wholly-owned subsidiaries FIL.VA (monofilament extrusion in PA, PP, and PET, established 1976) and FARCON (extrusion dies, gear pumps, screen changers, and co-extrusion blocks, established 1989), enabling vertical integration of critical components and process know-how. Farè serves industrial manufacturers across hygienic/medical nonwovens, technical/industrial nonwovens, textile staple fibers, and filtration end-markets in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, with more than 500 lines supplied globally since 1970, 200+ group employees, and 30+ patents.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time turnkey plant sales (custom-engineered, project-based pricing tied to specifications, configuration, and polymer scope), supplemented by recurring streams from original spare parts, line revamping and upgrade services, extended warranty packages, web-based tele-service, and operational training. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by participation in major international exhibitions including INDEX, TECHTEXTIL, ITMA, SINCE, IDEA, and ITME, with a regional channel partner (Astratech) engaged for India. Reported 2017 group revenue reached a record of approximately 100 million EUR; no more recent financial disclosure is available.

Core offering

Farè designs, manufactures, and commissions turnkey industrial production lines for synthetic staple fibers and nonwoven fabrics, based on polymer extrusion technologies including spunbond, meltblown, and composite (SMS) configurations. Product offerings include one-step and two-step staple fiber lines, fine/coarse denier nonwoven lines, meltblown lines, and the proprietary Dryerless PET extrusion technology. Each plant is custom-engineered, pre-erected and tested at the 40,000 sqm Fagnano Olona facility before shipment, followed by on-site installation, commissioning, and operator training.

Product overview

Farè SpA a socio unico is a manufacturer of industrial production lines for synthetic fibers and nonwovens, founded in 1970 and headquartered in Fagnano Olona, Italy. The product portfolio consists of two main categories: (1) Staple Fiber Lines comprising One-Step Process and Two-Step Process systems for producing monocomponent and bicomponent fibers in solid or hollow sections; and (2) Nonwoven Lines encompassing Fine Denier, Coarse Denier, and Meltblown technologies for producing Spunbond, Composite, and Meltblown nonwoven fabrics. The company also offers PET Dryerless Technology as a specialized extrusion solution that eliminates the drying step and reduces energy consumption. All product lines are backed by comprehensive turnkey services including project management, installation, training, and after-sales support. Farè operates as part of a group with affiliated companies FIL.VA (monofilament extrusion) and FARCON (extrusion dies and components), providing integrated manufacturing capabilities.

Products and services

• Staple Fiber Lines - One-Step Process Complete production line that transforms polymer directly into staple fiber in a single plant, with reduced operating costs, high flexibility processing PP, PE, PET, R-PET, and PLA polymers, modular design, and capability to produce monocomponent and bicomponent fibers in solid and hollow sections. Titre range: 1 to 300 dtex; productivity: 10 to 100 ton/day. For industrial manufacturers of synthetic textile fibers.
• Staple Fiber Lines - Two-Step Process High-speed production line for special fibers and cotton-type fibers, designed as downstream of polymerization or polycondensation systems (direct spinning). Processes PP, PET, R-PET, PE, and PA polymers; produces monocomponent and bicomponent fibers in solid or hollow sections. Titre range: 1 to 17 dtex and above; productivity: 20 to 200 ton/day. For synthetic fiber producers with polymerization integration.
