What fbl pressofusioni does

FBL Pressofusioni S.r.l. is an Italian family-owned aluminum die-casting foundry founded in 1974 by the Bettinsoli family, originally as FBL Fratelli Bettinsoli snc specializing in brass stamping and reoriented into aluminum high-pressure die casting over the following decades. The company operates two production facilities in the Brescia province — Vobarno (Via Provinciale 55, expanded in 2020 to 12,000 m² of covered area) and Lodrino (loc. Mandro 16, with a 5,000 m² covered warehouse) — running 19 fully automated die-casting islands with clamping forces from 550T up to 3500T and melting furnace capacity of 10–30 tons per unit. FBL holds IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, which are mandatory or standard prerequisites for supplying European automotive OEMs.

The company's core offering is the development and production of medium and large series aluminum die-cast components for the automotive sector (gearbox housings, clutch boxes, pump bodies, oil pans, engine covers, support brackets, structural parts, steering columns) supplied to OEM, Tier 1 and Tier 2 customers, plus secondary output for electrical and industrial applications (electrical housings, electric motor components, heat sinks, fans, inverters). Process technology centers on Squeezer casting, Jet cooling, thermal cameras, laser markers, laser-synthesized inserts, active evacuation systems, casting simulation software (filling, solidification, thermal analysis), and a Data Matrix Code per-piece traceability system that reconstructs each part's full production history from raw material batch through final finishing. Notable first-of-kind applications include Direct Metal Laser Sintering inserts on a 2017 gearbox project, automatic air-cooled crankcase production in 2017, friction-stir-welded C7 cooler components in 2017, heat-treated hydraulic unit components in 2022, and UV Cured In Place gasket technology for a Battery Electric Vehicle cover in 2023.

FBL's commercial model is project-based B2B manufacturing with custom quote pricing per component specification, billed under multi-year contracts. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with dedicated sales and engineering teams that engage customers from feasibility analysis and risk assessment through mold development, APQP quality planning and serial production — a simultaneous-engineering approach designed to shorten time-to-market. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of die-cast components, complemented by engineering services, with customer development supported by a multilingual corporate website, Euroguss trade fair presence (recognized in 2020), and a dedicated supplier portal for sustainability and CSR documentation. Strategic raw-material and finishing partnerships — including liquid-aluminum direct delivery from a local refinery (2023) and long-tenured external mold, heat-treatment and finishing partners — extend effective capacity without proportional headcount growth, while on-site photovoltaic generation installed in 2022 supports OEMs' carbon-reduction supplier mandates.
