Quality is a core value of the company that involves the entire creation and production process. The company is a mediator between the best creative abilities and the needs and desires of the people who are at the centre of the process of product conception and development. The research and development process is effected entirely in-house to safeguard technical know-how and quality.

Production organisation and logistics follow the advanced guidelines of the ‘lean manufacturing’ methodology to increase production efficiency. The products are manufactured entirely in Italy on the basis of an industrial process, but finished with the care of a craftsman. The company’s in-house production cycle guarantees quality control at every stage of production. Maintaining internal know-how, the company governs the most advanced technological partnerships with selected external suppliers.

Fantini products are eco-friendly: they comply with the strict requirements imposed by the “Lead Free” standard (they have a very low lead content), a wide range is available in stainless steel and care is taken to save energy by reducing the water consumption per minute.
In order to achieve this goal, Fantini uses a series of technical devices in its products: the progressive cartridge, which opens the tap always starting from cold water; the limited flow aerators, which reduce water consumption; the diverter system in the showers, which allows the different functions to be managed individually.

Our aim is to offer the consumer the best products in terms of quality, ecology, health and safety. The stainless steel product range has thus become, together with the lead-free products, a distinctive feature of the company.

As far as the presence of lead is concerned, Fantini taps are manufactured in compliance with United States regulations, currently the most advanced at international level, which require that the surfaces of brass taps in contact with drinking water do not contain more than 0.25% lead and are therefore to all intents and purposes lead-free.
On this front, the company’s strategy has been far-sighted and Fantini is now in the forefront in Europe too compared to other manufacturers: to safeguard consumers, indeed, it applies the same production standard, despite the fact that European regulations still allow a lead content of 2.2%.

The strategic choice to take the steel production route goes in the same direction. Eco-compatible par excellence, stainless steel is the best metal available today for use in products. It is an excellent material that performs extraordinarily well: it is long-lasting due to its robustness and maintains its characteristics over time thanks to its high resistance to corrosion by external agents. It is environmentally friendly and recyclable. It assures maximum hygiene and ease of maintenance and cleaning.
The range of AISI 316 and 316L stainless steel products is a distinctive feature of the company, together with the lead-free products.

This approach has been present since the launch in the 1970s of the famous ‘I Balocchi’, the first coloured taps to appear on the market, passing from experimentation with the use of other materials such as glass or wood, to the appearance of the recent PVD finishes with elegant and sophisticated chromatic effects.

PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition and indicates the technology used for the deposition of thin metallic films on different types of substrates. The PVD finish is particularly appreciated for its characteristics of hardness, resistance, inalterability, maximum resistance to corrosion, excellent resistance to scratching and abrasion (twice as good as galvanic chrome plating), resistant to solvents, acids or alkalis and to anti-limescale products used for domestic use, and its total resistance to UV light. Fantini uses PVD technology in different colour versions, above all with a matt finish, which gives a sophisticated visual and tactile aesthetic effect and unmistakable shades of colour: from the ‘gunmetal’ – a tone between dark grey and a blue, burnt shade – to a warm bronzed copper colour – a sort of pinkish brown – to the sophisticated, calm, elegant ‘British’ gold.
