Materials

Built from what lasts

Die-cast aluminium, tempered glass and enamelled steel — chosen because they age gracefully, not because they are cheap.

Packaging

Cardboard, no plastic

Since 2024, all small appliance packaging is 100% recycled cardboard with vegetable inks and no polystyrene.

Energy

Class A across the range

Every new FAB refrigerator, washing machine and dishwasher exceeds Class A on the EU energy label.

End of life

Take-back for FAB

A new programme lets customers return their fridge at end of life for full component recovery in Guastalla.
