FABBRIDEA: YOU INVENT, WE MAKE

WELCOME TO THE FACTORY OF IDEAS

FabbrIDeA means factory of ideas: in italian IDeA stands for innovation, design and craftsmanship.

FabbrIDeA melts the word factory with the verbs “to do”, “to build”, “to create”, but also with the ancient craftsman art of the master artisans forging, shaping, molding…

Our name in italian also represents an easy and immediate word for the fusion between the innovation and the tradition

INNOVATION intended as product redesign, business model, through MyGate web-based platform.

TRADITION thanks to the master artisans, able to shape our customers’ desires.

OUR ROOTS    

Our story begins long before FabbrIDeA, in 1981, when the strength and the determination of a young woman, Maria Palermo, and her husband, Nicola Caruso, drive them to leave Australia and to come back to their homeland Calabria.
Four children, a wealth of artisanal experience and a big dream: they wanted to create a production holding, to give a future for their children, to help develop their homeland! The “Palermo Ferrobattuto” was born in Francavilla Angitola, as a little workshop equipped to produce metal windows and doors and wrought iron items.
Experience, effort and passion: every year the company grows, the amount of work increases, the professionalism reaches ever higher quality standards.
Innovation, advanced pieces of equipment, “made in Italy” as fundamental objectives to pursue and defend: Vincenzo and his siblings believe it more and more. The right way is betting on the product design, the use of new digital technologies; combine the culture of doing and design with the creativity of the craftsman and his manual skills, and with the designer’s aesthetic and functional vision.
The “Palermo Ferrobattuto” starts a new path, developes a new business model and a web-based system, betting on the customization of the product: “You invent, we make!”. The rest is FabbrIDeA.
