The company’s pride: rhinestone application

Operating for over twenty years in the application of rhinestones‭, ‬enamelling‭, ‬and finishing of articles for the goldsmith and fashion accessories sector‭, ‬the Fatà Smalti company has seen its business grow considerably in recent years‭. ‬At the moment‭, ‬80%‭ ‬of their work consists in the application of rhinestones with bonding by means of two-component resins on metal bases where the casings for the stones are already prepared‭, ‬a technique widely used in the fashion accessories sector by the most prestigious brands‭. ‬

As the company’s owner Francesca Fabbrini told us‭: ‬“For us‭, ‬the turning point came with the famous brands approaching the potential of the world of goldsmiths’‭ ‬workshops and later with the re-shoring of fine artisanship in Italy‭. ‬Our strength is that all work is done in-house with highly specialised labour‭, ‬and all products and processes are subject to meticulous quality control‭. ‬We also develop a true creative‭ ‬partnership with our clients‭, ‬listening to their needs and suggesting solutions‭. ‬Through CAD design and 3D printing of the wax model‭, ‬a high-precision pre-series sample can be created very quickly‭. ‬In addition‭, ‬we are equipping the workstations with work efficiency terminals that‭, ‬for example‭, ‬allow the exact calculation of the delivery time of an order‭. ‬

Very high quality standards and great reliability in client relations have allowed Fatà Smalti to proudly witness an expansion of their clientele‭, ‬also internationally‭, ‬a factor that has enabled them to invest in computerisation of processes‭, ‬4.0‭ ‬technological innovation‭, ‬expansion of workspaces‭, ‬and an increase in personnel‭, ‬which has doubled in just a few years‭.  ‬
