about us
Fassa Bortolo is a historic name in the world of building, market leader in Italy and worldwide. We are always looking for excellent raw materials and sustainable innovations; the quality of what we produce is not our finish line, but rather the inspiration to improve and evolve in the sectors in which we operate.
Historically, we started out in the world of lime, the purest raw material that we still use today in some of our building products. We offer our clients a wide range of products to meet every need, from the smallest renovation to the largest building site: mortars, premixes for plasters, paints, laying materials, solutions for renovation, restoration and thermal insulation, up to the line dedicated to the Gypsotech® plasterboard system.
Special attention is given to the organic philosophy, so that users can make an informed choice of specific products for bio-architecture, and know their environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle.
Fassa Bortolo, your choice for technological innovation at every stage: from production to design and application.
Together to deliver the success of your projects.
History
The first historical evidence of a family member involved in the processing of lime dates back to 1710. An ancient tradition that represents the company’s roots and that has been constantly renewed until today reaching the highest quality standards.
Fassa Bortolo has become synonymous with innovation in the building sector, and we were the very first to introduce premixed plasters in Italy and beyond.
The Fassa Group currently has: 18 sites in Italy, one site in Portugal, one in Spain and one in Brazil, as well as sales offices located in Italy, Switzerland, France, Spain and the United Kingdom.
With such a history of excellence and continuous commitment, we are proud to be part of this tradition and to offer solutions that exceed our clients’ expectations.
