Faital's history reflects the Group's constant development and growth over the last 50 years. The various milestones that have been achieved since the Company was established in 1958 have allowed it to become an important point of reference in world markets.
1960's

Faital S.p.A. was established in Milan in 1958 as a small family-run business.
At the end of the 1960s, Faital was one of the main Italian manufacturers of loudspeakers, accounting for 40% of national demand.
Faital initially manufactured loudspeakers only for radios and audio systems and later introduced its products into the market for television amplifier systems.
As a result of constant technical and business development, the company gradually expanded to cover many areas of industry.

In the new millennium, Productora Mexicana de Bocinas was established in Mexico in response to market opportunities and in keeping with the Group's philosophy.
The company enters the North American market and the Puebla plant begins to meet local market requirements.
The Group consolidates its achievements after almost half a century in business. In order to enter the North American automotive market successfully, the company establishes a commercial office in Detroit and opens a new warehouse near New York to provide logistical support to its North American clients. Similarly, to increase its capacity and competitivity Faital established a new manufacturing facility in Hungary.
The new millennium also marks the beginning of a diversification strategy for Faital that will lead to the development of the FaitalPRO brand.
FaitalPRO is a new line of high power neodymium drivers suitable for use in heavy-duty applications.
These products are specifically designed for the Pro-Audio markets and are manufactured to the highest standard of reliability, sound quality and high power handling. As already mentioned above, the group’s growth is the result of an ongoing commitment to achieve a complete understanding of Client requirements. Design, manufacturing and product quality control systems are all proactively geared towards Customer Satisfaction. The company’s mission is to ensure that the four basic features of Faital products are met: Technology, Quality, Service and Competitiveness.
In this way, the Faital Group can ensure that their products reflect the following:
Design expertise and innovation supported by technologically advanced manufacturing processes
Consistent sound quality and reliability
Effective logistic planning in order to support product distribution and Customer demand. To hold strong to the original passion for good sound that started the small family run business, Faital has decided to keep design and production of the FaitalPRO line of neodymium drivers in Italy, combining superb craftsmanship with the latest industrial technologies.
As a multinational currently operating in two continents, the company is preparing to face the new challenges of a highly competitive global market where technological development and customer service are increasingly becoming the key factors for success.
