We continue to write the story of an adventure that began a long time ago

Effegibrevetti is a company specialising in the design, engineering and production of opening and fitting systems for the furniture industry.

How Effegibrevetti was born: the first inventions

Effegibrevetti was born from an adventure started by Fiorello Giovannetti, when in an old basement in Via Marciano in Milan, he began experimenting with the first mechanical processes. Thus, using the first machine tools, built by himself, he began to make various types of assembly of small mechanical components.

Later, Fiorello Giovannetti invented the helicoidal expansion plug, called Ankor, and the brass expansion bushing, including the variant with a pad for unhardened screws. On 2 March 1966 Fiorello Giovannetti received an award for the best inventor in the Lombardy area for his product.
