What FG-Tech does

FG-Tech is an Italian chemical products company established in 2013 as an S.r.l. (limited liability company), headquartered in Suzzara in the province of Mantua. The company develops and distributes chemical fuel additives for diesel and gasoline engines, de-icing products for cold-climate operations, and provides laboratory analysis services for fuel and lubricant quality assessment. Its product portfolio is positioned to address combustion efficiency, cold-weather operability, and fuel-quality verification across industrial and consumer end uses.

FG-Tech serves a heterogeneous mix of verticals, including the automotive aftermarket, alpine and ski operations, biogas and renewable energy facilities, and transport and logistics fleets. The company operates a hybrid B2B and B2C go-to-market with an emphasis on consultative, sales-led customer engagement; technical advisory and laboratory testing are bundled alongside additive distribution as part of the value proposition rather than sold as standalone lines.

The business is founder-led and bootstrapped, with paid-in capital of approximately €10,000 and a headcount between 1 and 10 employees. Co-founders Diego Ferrarini (CEO, with a background as a MotoGP mechanic) and Stefania Gorrieri (finance and administration) anchor operations. Distribution and commercial partnerships with entities including Aiman / TG-Chemical and Federtec, alongside outreach into West Africa, indicate an internationally oriented commercial ambition that materially exceeds the company's current scale.
