Overview
“Colouring the future since 1920”
“My grandfather’s business started in Florence and reached Sicily. My father’s business went from Milan to Sicily. Today, our business goes from Shanghai to San Francisco. The USA is currently our number one market in the world. And we are Italian”.
This is the journey around the world that we have made. Over the years, we have adapted to evolving times and technologies, incorporating sustainable materials and practices into our business, while holding true to our key values: colour and craftsmanship. We like to picture an artist climbing a hill with her tools, ready to capture the beauty of the landscape before her. At FILA, we believe our future lies on that hill.
Massimo Candela – CEO di F.I.L.A.
Who we are
With a portfolio of 25 iconic brands and a comprehensive range of products for writing, drawing, colouring, modelling, and painting in the School and Fine Art & Crafts segment, the FILA Group has become a major global player in the world of colour.
Our products are distributed in 150 countries on five continents, with 33 direct branches.
Our company’s vocation is production, with 23 specialised factories located across the world, including two in Italy. These factories boast high levels of interchangeability, and vertical integration, allowing us to have full control over the production process.
The leadership exercised since the 1960s, first by Alberto Candela and then by Massimo Candela, has translated into a stable and coherent long-term vision, allowing for the execution of a growth strategy that has led to the Group’s current make-up.
The parent company FILA S.p.A. has been listed on the EXM – Euronext STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange since November 2015.
