Soon he has the chance to take over a company in Schio, where they manufactured casein glue and vinyl: the company’s name was ANCORA and the name hasn’t changed.

The commitment was constant and began to pay off; the manufacturing expanded to include the entire range of solvent adhesives for wood, as well as the processing and transformation of sandpapers.
Than we decided to start with the manufacturing of solvent-based adhesives and water- based ones for the upholstered furniture industry.

In 1990 Franco Fantin built a new factory in Pianezze S.L. still in the Vicenza province. The company then started to take shape ,with all the members of the Fantin family working there. All the manufacturing was subsequently moved to this site and the company took its present name ANCORA SRL.

In these few lines you can identify the type of company that ANCORA is: a company with many years experience in its sector , developing products that are closer to its customers’ needs.

Tradition and innovation combined with excellent results, appreciated both at a national and international level. Manufacturing adhesives!
