Company
Our origins date back to 1947 when Mr. SANTINI GIOVANNI BATTISTA, together with other partners, began manufacturing the first basic equal-arm weighing scales.
Why this professional choice?
Scales are more than just an instrument of measurement. They also are a symbol of justice as they represent the ability to assess, discern right from wrong and good from evil. Philosophically speaking, they enable us to contrast values and establish equality or difference. In a nutshell, to give the right weight to things and people.
Our passion for weighing scales and this activity, requires to believe in these notions, to have in our souls, strongly rooted principles of justice, of balance, serenity of judgment and equity which give one the strength and clear-mindedness to take action.
So, with these convictions, productive strength and entrepreneurial spirit we developed a company that spread throughout the world a typical Italian product recognised for its quality and guaranteed long-lasting reliability.
The economic boom of the 1960s also involved the development of companies producing scales which became more and more established and continued to grow and develop.
Futura srl
In 1982, Mr. Santini Giovanni together with his son Roberto established the new company FUTURA SRL with the aim of maintaining and improving the manufacturing of mechanical products.
So with new ideas, a cutting-edge production style and organisation, and thanks to the support of a loyal and forward-looking clientele, FUTURA Bilance becomes more and more established.
In the 1990s, Futura Bilance forges new alliances with major world producers of technologies and electronic components of superior quality. Thanks to them it produces products certified in compliance with the metrological requirements of the EN45501 standards and the Community directive 90 / 384 / ETC.
FUTURA Bilance has been able to evolve and keep up with the market along the years, whilst still maintaining the production of mechanical scales for goldsmiths and mechanical dial scales for industrial purposes, which are consequently considered the “family silver” of the company.
Truly aware that customer service and product quality are a winning combination to maintain and expand its customers base, FUTURA sets itself the following objectives in the 2000s:
- Maintain the company in a suitable economic structure through effective cost / revenue management.
- Careful monitoring of the market (prices, technological quality of the product, innovations).
- Maintain business dynamism in the search for new products / markets / suppliers producing high quality products in order to meet the multiple needs of the customer.
- Continuous monitoring of the normative and legislative evolution in the field of legal metrology.
