Fidia new factory
Travelling along the bypass east of Forlì your attention is drawn to the outline of a factory building that differs from the others: a structure with an imposing mass and a precise identity - this is the new Fidia production plant.
The project originated from the need to meet the demand for increasing production volumes and to have the necessary space to build large dimension machine tools.
A modern, efficient production plant was needed, with the necessary structures and areas for designing and manufacturing the new machine tools and milling systems required by the market.
The new plant was constructed incorporating an existing industrial structure, and paying particular attention to its impact on the surrounding area, while also respecting the local built environment.

During the course of the project, the siting of the offices was the focus of in-depth analyses.
In the end, an unusual solution was adopted with the offices situated directly overlooking the production area and interconnected by a U-shaped balcony.
It is a solution designed to facilitate communication between those who design and those working in the production area, literally reducing the distance between the two sectors of the company.

Efficiency of production was the other important area studied, in particular guaranteeing the space required for assembling the larger Fidia machine tools and for optimising the flow of materials.
The original building has been extended with a new structure sited alongside it and intended for the warehouse and auxiliary services. An automatic management system and for the loading/unloading of materials ensures the prompt availability of assembly components and the control of supplies.
The aesthetics of the new building recall the same clean lines and red and grey colours that define the form of Fidia machine tools.
Each detail evokes the firm and solidly held ideas that have guided the development of a company which, today, can compete with the most prestigious names worldwide in the market.
