History

FAAC (Fabbrica Automatismi Apertura Cancelli) was founded in 1965. According to the company's own account, Giuseppe Manini, still a boy, noticed one day that the gate was left open and the bicycle rack empty; this sparked the idea of creating an automatic system to close gates. He took a cylinder, a piston and a rubber tube connected to the building's water supply, opened the tap and the gate closed. From this first rudimentary automation system, Manini developed the famous oleodynamic system, which in 1965 led to the birth of FAAC and the history of automations. The company states it immediately became a symbol of innovation and a synonym for gate automation worldwide, and that quality, safety, passion and research are the pillars on which it built its business, allowing it to become a world-leading group in the automation and access control sector. It states that for nearly 60 years FAAC has been a synonym for excellence through constant attention to detail, from continuous research into product and component quality to supplier selection and scrupulous control of the production process. To maintain its quality standard, it states it invests constantly in technological and organizational innovation. A Chinese Wikipedia entry states that FAAC is an Italian company founded in 1965, and that its branch opened in China is registered under the Chinese name 法柯.
