With FNA Group’s roots beginning in 1948 and evolving for decades through innovations, acquisitions and alliances, it has become a powerhouse in the global market for air compressors. The group’s North American operations, FNA AMERICA (formerly Fini USA), has been extending its presence further with a newly established headquarters in Fort Mill, South Carolina. Since its local inception during the ‘80s, FNA AMERICA has been distributing millions of compressors to OEM customers under the Fini or private label brands. The company continues to use its global footprint in R&D, engineering, supply chain, distribution and world class customer service in fulfilling its growth strategy for the region.
With a new 104,000-square-foot facility, FNA AMERICA is primed for additional production capabilities to serve various market segments and fulfill the demands of all channels. This strategic initiative has allowed FNA AMERICA to more than double its workforce, further add manufacturing capabilities and offer more efficient distribution through its network of locations in the U.S. and Canada. The company is also expanding its local portfolio through strategic acquisitions of complementary brands and operations.
FNA AMERICA is launching new and innovative products for the consumer, professional and industrial markets in 2024 to maintain its repertoire of diversity and dominance in the air compressor market. Some of the many channels the company serves include big boxes, e-commerce, farm and agriculture, industrial supply houses, buying groups, national chains, independents and everything in between. In 2024, FNA AMERICA will add the industrial market to its focus with Nu Air branded screw compressor technology that has been proven for decades in markets such as Europe and Asia.
Most importantly, all of these exciting changes and strategic initiatives would not be possible without the great employees and culture being developed at FNA AMERICA. The new president, Attila Madarasz, said “Every team member is hungry for growth and success, embracing the can-do philosophy. We build our vision, we execute our vision and enjoy our success together as one team. We are utilizing the decades of innovative success from our Italian roots and using that foundation to be the most trusted and sought after compressor supplier in North America.”
FNA Group is launching FNA AMERICA to expand its industrial products into the American market. Despite this international expansion, the company will continue manufacturing its machinery in Italy, highlighting its commitment to quality and innovation. Italian facilities feature advanced machining centers with robotic components handling lines.
By establishing FNA AMERICA, the group aims to capitalize on the American market's potential, providing localized support, quicker response times, and more efficient service. This strategic move is designed to strengthen customer relationships and broaden market reach. The initiative is expected to drive significant growth, reinforcing FNA Group's position as a global industrial leader and paving the way for future innovations and opportunities.
