TECHNICAL TOUR PARTICIPANT - Monday, November 13

SERVIFORM was established at the beginning of 1990 by Mr. Franco Foppa Pedretti.
His father, Mr. Giuseppe Foppa Pedretti , in 1947 established one of the first Italian trade dieshops, Foppa Fustelle.

Since the very beginning, Mr. Giuseppe Foppa believed in a wide open philosophy: there were no secrets and the dieshop had to be open towards competitors. In fact, the supply of dieboards had to stay side-by-side with the manufacturing and supply of diemaking materials. Starting from his own needs, Foppa Fustelle from the early years developed a full range of small diemaking machines expressly designed for diemakers. Mr. Giuseppe Foppa’s strong belief generated a quite peculiar case:
Caravaggio (a small village in Northern Italy where Serviform is based) is the area in the world with the highest concentration of diemakers: on a total population of 12.000 people, there are 68 people employed in diemaking! In a radius of 15 Km from around Caravaggio, on top of the people in town, there are another 86 people working in diemaking. So the “double line” made of manufacturing of dies and manufacturing of materials and machines for the diemakers kept on since the advent of Mr. Franco Foppa Pedretti who took Giuseppe’s place in 1980. Giuseppe’s son radically modernized the production structure and split the company in two.

Foppa Fustelle is targeted to the production of steel rule dies for an always more demanding market and Serviform is dedicated to the development of diemaking machines and materials. Nowadays, Serviform is producing state-of-the-art fully automatic diemaking machinery and distributing it world-wide, together with a comprehensive range of software, lasers, plotters, manual machines and diemaking/diecutting material.

Our motto: Serviform was established to give a daily service to the diemaking and diecutting industry with the supply of machines, computerised systems and materials. Our commitment: is to simplify diemaking, to increase accuracy and profitability.
