A historic Italian company in the furniture hardware sector, FGV presents itself to the market today with a renewed identity after the acquisition by Hettich that took place last year. 

A new logo, a clear positioning and sustainable management oriented to continuous improvement towards the future: thus FGV positions itself as a point of reference in the world of furniture components, with a steady look at its roots and the momentum needed to face the challenges of the future.

New logo

The result of careful rebranding work and a communication strategy that celebrates tradition and innovation, the new stylized logo perfectly reflects the company's new philosophy: clarity, coherence and a strong openness to the future. With the wording “Hettich Network”, the logo symbolically indicates the company's integration into a global and highly competitive context.

The entry into the Hettich Group has in fact represented an excellent growth opportunity for FGV, highlighting the value of an Italian brand with over 75 years of experience in the production of accessories and solutions for furniture, with a complete range of products including hinges, drawers, slides and support brackets.

Clear positioning

FGV now aims to focus on functional technical elements and offer solutions that balance aesthetics, quality and production efficiency, embodying three fundamental principles: functionality, efficiency and a correct quality-price ratio. Values consistent with FGV's positioning, which targets manufacturers of entry-level furniture up to the mid-market segment.

An efficient and flexible production 

FGV's investments in Industry 4.0 have already yielded significant results, such as the introduction of interconnected systems for real-time monitoring of production lines, which has reduced machine downtime and improved production planning. Thanks to the adoption of smart sensors and predictive analytics software, the company is now able to anticipate anomalies, optimize work cycles and ensure higher finished product quality. These digital tools, integrated with the principles of Lean Manufacturing, have made the production departments more flexible and responsive, contributing to more sustainable management oriented to continuous improvement.

Talent, training and inclusion

FGV also values individual talent, promotes inclusion and invests in professional growth with an open and responsible vision, confirming itself as an attractive reality that aims to expand its internal skills with qualified and motivated profiles.

"The path undertaken by FGV, now an integral part of the Hettich Group, - stressed Uwe Kreidel, CEO of the Group  FGV, - represents a strategic evolution based on enhancing our historical identity, technological innovation and investment in human capital. We believe that a strong company is one that knows how to combine tradition and a global vision, functionality and creativity, technical expertise and cultural openness. With this new phase, FGV confirms itself as an organization projected towards the future, solid in its roots and dynamic in its ambition.”
