The Fila Research Centre

Experience gained through years of work, in-depth knowledge of materials, research in the lab and on site: these are just some of our strengths which lead to achieving excellence in the protection and care of all surfaces (marble, natural stone, porcelain tile, terracotta, glass and wood).

Every year we invest approximately 10% of our annual turnover in R&D aiming to create high-performance, eco-friendly solutions that are in line with market demands.

KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIALS

In our FILA Research Center, in collaboration with Italian and international research institutes, we analyze and study all materials, including those already on the market and those in the development phase.

NEW FORMULAS

Our R&D team develops about 20 new projects every year, a third of which are launched in the market. The remailing products are improvements to existing technologies or pure research for creating the basis for new solutions.
