Fapil: tooling for cnc working centers

“Every man inscribes the mark of his nature into life”. The story of Fapil (Fabbrica Attrezzature Per l’Industria del Legno) is “a family matter”, the Pesenti family. Since Francesco Pesenti established the company in 1959, the passion for mechanical technology has become the fil rouge, with the constant search for innovation as the key mission in Zogno, near Bergamo. Today, sixty years later, the continuous research for quality and the application of modern construction techniques keep providing Fapil customers with a wide range of tools and accessories suitable for any type of machining.

Specific designs are developed by Fapil based on the product and the material type, adopting optimal solutions thanks to the knowledge of processing operations, accurate design, and the use of advanced manufacturing technology.
In the 2000’s, Fapil also experimented new applications for its tools, starting to product cutters for other industries beyond wood: a family of tools for plastic processing, and then for composites; cutters for modeling, shipbuilding, aerospace, bio-energy and automotive, combining the processing of diversified materials with high durability, identifying optimal cutting angles, and coating and finishing its own tools.

This innovative approach has always enabled the Bergamo-based company to meet ever-changing market requirements, thanks to a professional approach to the production of cutting tools, both standard and special, with custom solutions created for each type of material to be processed.

Tools and accessories result from 60 years of experience serving customers all around the world to meet the most advanced requirements in cnc operations, including the machining of models (wooden models, foundry models, design models etc.), sculptures, decorations, packaging and more, with special surface coating solutions to achieve longer life in specific market niches for model construction and piece sampling. Solutions for the production of pre-series and for series processing, to shape and mold wood, plastic, carbon, fiberglass, aluminum and composites.
