FAR's new French warehouse 23 November 2018

FAR is determined to consolidate its share of the French market, with a new warehouse in Lyon, becoming a strategic point to create a capillary distribution network through the whole country. Confident in product quality and in its territorial sales force, the 600m2 store provides an efficient and easy service to meet French market demands.

Founded in 1957, FAR Srl is a family owned business and a leading company in Italy, and in Europe, for the production and distribution of high technology articles for fastening. With highly specialised employees, supported by two automatic warehouse systems and semi-robotised packaging units – in a 14,000m2 plant in Bologna, the company ships a great variety of blind rivets, blind rivet nuts, tools, and semi-automated solutions, to more than 70 countries worldwide.

One of the core competencies of FAR’s in-house research team is the development of high-quality technical solutions for blind rivet installations. For instance, the high performance blind rivets installation tool RAC 172 provides a force of 22,725N and a stroke of 19.5mm. It is also able to set structural rivets in steel and stainless steel, and other high performance rivets in diameters 6mm and 6.4mm.
