The first chandelier hoods, ducted version without duct.
The Faber story – and with it the story of the kitchen hood – began a long time ago in a small workshop. Quite a few years have passed since then. Decades in fact, during which we have concentrated on improving the design, functionality and quality of our hoods. And it looks as if we have done a good job, because today we are one of the world’s top hood manufacturers. Faber was the first company ever to make kitchen hoods, and we still are the number one today, in quality and quantity.
In Italy one out of every two hoods is a Faber hood.
We pioneered a whole new world when we invented the kitchen hood. Since then, we have transformed the hood from a humble furnishing accessory into an essential item of kitchen equipment – safe, stylish and functional. Pioneering is in our DNA. We want the future, and we want it now!
That is why we are constantly exploring new ideas, acquiring new knowledge and investigating new markets.
The Faber Group of industries is already present in 8 countries and on 3 continents so we can honestly say that our leadership is global. And thanks to our commitment, tenacity, passion and dynamism, we are still growing too.
