Più internazionalizzazione e innovazione per Forel

Forel, a global leader in machinery for flat glass and glass camera processing, is accelerating its investments and international expansion. In 2025, international growth is one of the key drivers of the company's development, with operations in over 70 countries worldwide. Key markets include Italy, the United States, Germany, Spain, and Belgium.

In Germany, Forel has further strengthened its presence by inaugurating Forel North Europe, a subsidiary based in Mönchengladbach that supports commercial activities and assistance in Northern Europe. The company's CEO and vice president, Riccardo Vianello, emphasized that diversifying geographical presence, consolidating historical markets, and opening new ones have built a more extensive and closer presence to customers.

In an increasingly international scenario marked by tensions and uncertainty, this strategy allows Forel to better face global challenges and continue its growth path. This year, the group anticipates consolidating growth and laying the groundwork for the new development phase initiated in 2026, the company's 50th anniversary. This is exemplified by the inauguration of a new 9,000-square-meter production wing at its headquarters in Vallio di Roncade, which strengthens the company's industrial capacity, improves workspace organization, and enables quicker and more effective responses to the evolving international market.

Forel's revenue in 2025 reached €80 million, slightly higher than the €79 million in the previous year, confirming the company's development path and international presence. An important investment plan, backed by an addition of over €20 million, has been launched to strengthen company infrastructure and demonstrate the commitment to innovation through two new patent applications.

The headquarters and production site at Vallio di Roncade have been expanded, along with the improvement of employee areas, including the canteen, and facade renewal of the main building. Simultaneously, the company has continued investing in innovation, filing two new patent applications that have expanded its portfolio, now comprising 33 valid patents.

The workforce has also grown by 15 employees, representing a 5% increase, bringing the total to 300 people working at the headquarters in Italy and the four foreign subsidiaries.
