The company FAGGI ENRICO S.p.a has been operating into the precious metals field since early 1960 and it occupies a surface area of about 3500 m2.

Originally FAGGI ENRICO S.p.a. started its activity as precious metal recovery and refining facility.

From mid 1970’s has been created the fine chemicals division specialized in the production of precious metals compounds.

In 2013, FAGGI ENRICO S.p.a, located in Sesto Fiorentino, established a new Fine Chemicals and Catalysts Division in Calenzano.

The 2000 m2 manufacturing site provides platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts for synthestic processes of fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals industries.

Development, caractherization and testing of new catalysts are performed in our R&D department.

The flexible manufacturing platform consist of a pilot plant and full scale commercial production facility.

In addition analytical laboratories provides the quality control of all raw materials, in process and finished products.
