Founded in 1952, 3F Filippi Spa has set the quality standard in the design and production of technical lighting fixtures. Designed and created exclusively in the Pian di Macina – Pianoro (Bologna) facilities, the products express the company's ability to combine traditional and modern elements, craftsmanship and technology, appearance and functionality, as well as efficiency and sustainability. Duralamp was founded in Florence in the early 1980s as a division of Targetti Sankey Luminous Springs. It became independent in 1982 and began to develop rapidly, with an emphasis on product design and the development of technologies and production processes. The implementation of the applied methodology was developed in the early 2000s, on the one hand by purchasing a production site in China in the Joint-Venture, and on the other hand by building a reliable and lasting partnership in both Europe and the East.
