“When I began this huge adventure, in a little garage in my early twenties, I already had a clear view of what were my goals: fully acknowledge my clients necessities and give real concrete and reliable solutions. With the development of sanders and industrial vacuums, in areas ranging from stone business to shipyards, from productions to industrial structures, my purpose has been, and will always be, to provide services, improved and innovative products, and be a role model for the staff.
I thank those who have joined my path and who have accompanied me, who for a short distance and others for longer distance, in these twenty years of steady growth.
Happy birthday FeVi"

Fe.Vi. was founded in Monticelli Terme (Parma) in 1997 thanks to the enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit of Federico Viglioli when he was only twenty years old.
