MADE IN F.B.M. philosophy
In F.B.M. the same production system is used in all facilities. Every F.B.M. cookware handle is crafted to the same degree of performance and service, no matter where it has been manufactured.
F.B.M. uses online and remote-control systems to monitor production and quality levels. We are technologically innovative, thanks to company-wide digitization and data control to improve production. Due to investments in Industry 4.0 for all of our facilities, we have implemented smart, autonomous systems that make our factories more efficient and productive while minimizing waste: we can now take direct action on areas of inefficiency in individual departments or lines and thus reduce waste and scrap by several tons.
A key strength of F.B.M. is the production of our ECOSYSTEM – LOOKATME line at three of our locations. Consumers are making a deliberate decision to buy products made in an environmentally sustainable manner. Businesses must adopt the appropriate regulations and apply them to their products. Sustainability has caught up with the latest cookware technology, and “eco” cookware is now in demand. The LOOK AT ME handles, knobs, and side-handles are fashioned from a combination of restored and natural materials, reducing emissions and consumption through the implementation of natural materials and the regeneration of production wastes.
The attention to the environmental impact of our activities is an issue that we care a lot about. We carefully consider all the potential risks related to them and the ways to mitigate them, on our path to growth, where attention to these aspects evolves increasingly over time in harmony with the opportunities arising from the next technological developments.
We behave ethically and responsibly with the aim of preserving and supporting everything around us. In line with our CSR policy, we also continued our growth in social initiatives, aimed at safeguarding and improving the economic and social conditions of the local communities in which we operate.
Furthermore, our commitment to sustainability also reflects in our products themselves. We adhere to European and International standards and have been recognized with the prestigious UL Environmental Claim Validation.
