STORIAIn the mid 19th century, Angelo Brovia opened a small “blacksmith work-shop” in Cortemilia, laying the foundations of a factory that will exceed the century.
His son Luigi expands his inheritance thanks to his philosophy to move on and always progress. His grandchildren, Mario and Gianangelo, establish the company F.B.C., specialized in the production of the first patented and automatic hazelnut picking machines.
Twenty years later, Mario Brovia turns the workshop into the modern and recent industry that nowadays is a leader, all over the world, for nuts processing technologies.
