Celebrating 70 years in business, Fila — a manufacturer of cleaning and surface treatment products — continues to build upon its success with a focus on green initiatives
Founded in March of 1943 by brothers Guido and Pietro Pettenon, Fila celebrated its 70th anniversary this year. Under the leadership of President Beniamino Pettenon since 1970, the Italian manufacturer of surface care solutions continually evolves to meet the requirements of industry standards and its customers’ changing needs. In recent years, the company, which is based in San Marino di Lupari in the province of Padua, Italy, has taken significant measures to be greener — both in its products and manufacturing process.
“It is 70 years since Fila was founded, and year after year, we have grown — making the most opportunities to expand and innovate, even during less fortunate times,” said Pettenon. “Today, we are enjoying a second youth. Over the years, we have gradually modified our identity — going from general consumer goods to great specialization — with special focus on a professional target. Even if Italy is in the grip of a critical economic situation, we want to continue growing — with strong determination and the support of a clear strategic vision — based on client attention, on our ability to innovate through great commitment to research, our presence on international markets and collaboration with manufacturers.”
