A family-run business over three decades
My name is Fabio Coltro and I was born in 1950. I started to work in the family business when I was 23 years old. The company was a specialist manufacturer of road-rail loaders. After gaining the necessary technical experience, I focused my efforts on sales & marketing. I quickly realised that our customers needed someone who could provide them with all the necessary equipment they needed for rail contracting. With this in mind, I established FCS in 1988.
I played Rugby at the highest level for Rovigo. Rugby helped me to develop a strong team spirit. It also taught me respect for my opponent and also to put others before myself. I have applied these values in my professional career. I fundamentally believe that personal contact is essential to business today: I know all my customers personally and offer a service that is tailored to their individual requirements. In this way, I have been able to earn their trust and respect.
I give the utmost care and attention to design, manufacture and sell our equipment. I always try to provide the best possible products and always scrupulously assess my suppliers.
Fabio Coltro – President
My name is Stefano and I was born in 1979. In 2002 I started working in my father’s company. Combining my studies with my working life, I obtained a degree in Economics at Bologna University in 2003.
I firmly believe that only a discerning and professional approach can lead to the development of a customer-focused relationship that makes the customer feel that he is part of the company. I strongly feel that a strong relationship with the customer can only be achieved in the long term. Only by listening to our customers suggestions and advice are we able to deliver a better product and provide a faster and more efficient service.
