Key factors of our success
More than 100 years of craftsmanship and attention to detail, passed from generation to generation.

Our extensive experience in the technical design of complex building envelopes allowed us to become one of the current major players in the market.

A reliable and proactive company anticipating further development of existing technologies

We transform every architectural challenge into an opportunity of growth and of technological research. Every façade system is conceived to obtain an innovative, high performing product, which emphasizes the aesthetics and the beauty of the architect’s concept, even the boldest one.
The attitude we have to set ever more challenging goals and the need to find, for every project, the best balance among aesthetics, costs, performance and timing have accustomed us to high-quality and unique works that, starting from our know-how, lead to the utmost customization of every single building envelope.

We will never repeat something previously seen, nor will we propose the same solutions in the future.

Thanks to a well-structured organization and to its R&D department constantly working in cooperation with research institutes and universities, every day it is possible to test innovative solutions enabling the systems to reach the best performance in terms of comfort and energy sustainability.

Our long-lasting ability of designing, selecting and fostering loyalty with the best supply chain, of ensuring a strict quality control and of managing every process until installation, makes us a reliable partner for your success.

Today, Focchi Group is not only in the service of architecture, but it is key to its evolution.

1914

The company is established in Rimini (Italy) and operates in the metalworking sector until the 1950s. Its name reflects the ownership of the family Focchi, which remains the same until nowadays.

With the post-war reconstruction, joins the company Ugo Focchi (son of Giuseppe) who, understood the potential of the material, develops the expertise in working with aluminum with the training of skilled workers through internships in Milan

1970

The experience achieved and market demands create the conditions for a new and modern factory. The production of aluminum window frames is consolidated and developed with considerable expansion on the coast of Romagna and Marche, thanks to the anti-corrosive characteristics of anodized aluminum, particularly suitable for marine areas.

1975
These were years of profound changes, when the manufacturing of doors and windows (one-piece) gives way to the first curtain wall systems that soon become the company's core business. Previous relevant experience with steel design allows Focchi to realize complete building envelope, structure and cladding.

1983

The constant growth makes it necessary to consolidate our presence in foreign markets, where we are appreciated for the availability / ability to develop customized products. Among these, the first project in the Middle East, with the construction of some residences for King Fahd. The attention to security (with 10 cm thick bullet resistant glass) led to the use of particularly strong profiles and special suitably reinforced accessories.

1985

The studies and testing of major manufacturers such as Dow Corning allow the use of structural silicone as glass bonding system in curtain walls. In the USA, this technology was already in use since a few years. After a long period of research, the company patented Panorami, an innovative and performing triple glass façade, featuring a ventilated interspace with structural silicone retention of the outer pane. With this patent Focchi realizes the first structural silicone facade in Europe. Later, another 120 projects in Italy and abroad are performed with this technology.

1990

Aluminum is not only a stainless material; it is also very light and therefore extremely suitable for shipbuilding. The glass/aluminum enclosure leaves the mainland.

Again Focchi is the first to take this path, with the design and manufacturing of windows for large cruise ships.
