Profile
Fassi Gru SpA is an Italian manufacturer specializing in hydraulic cranes, primarily truck-mounted and knuckle boom models. The company designs, produces, and markets a range of cranes used for lifting and material handling in various industrial applications. Its headquarters are located in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. Fassi Gru serves customers across multiple sectors, including construction, logistics, utilities, and municipal services.
Founded in 1965 by the Fassi family, the company has remained privately held and family-operated since its inception. Over the decades, Fassi Gru has expanded its production capacity and established a network of subsidiaries and distributors in Europe and international markets. The firm emphasizes research and development, introducing technological advancements such as electronic load management systems and remote control options. Its cranes are recognized for compliance with European safety and performance standards, contributing to its reputation for reliability.
In June 2023, Fassi Gru SpA became the target of a ransomware attack by the Rhysida group, which exfiltrated approximately 490 gigabytes of data comprising over 1.1 million files. The attackers published the stolen information on their leak site, while the company had not issued an official public statement at the time of reporting. This incident highlighted the cybersecurity risks faced by manufacturing firms with extensive intellectual property and operational data. Despite the breach, Fassi Gru continues to operate as a key supplier of hydraulic cranes, maintaining its focus on product innovation and customer support.
