The Company

KF is rooted in Modena, a historic and university city in the center of Emilia-Romagna, a focal point of major communication routes and major production and creative entities, capital of the “Motor Valley” and recognized excellence for ceramics, mechanics, fashion and the food & beverage sector.

Founded in 1996 by industry experts, KF soon earned the trust of global manufacturers such as Citizen, JCM, Mean Well and Asahi Seiko, obtaining, in some cases, exclusive distribution rights in Italy.

The growth of the following years allowed KF to  establish its 1000 m2 factory in 2001 where, together with the acquisitions of company shares in strategic similar sectors, it began to develop products of its own design, innovations & technology.

In 2022, KF   expanded the property by an additional 1000 m2 and installed two production lines. ,  This move brought all the assembly processes in-house, thereby enhancing the quality and increasing the productivity, and embracing Industry 4.0 standards.

KF takes the values of its places of origin and  looks to the future, by identifying  innovation as the key to its success.

Committed to excellence, KF operates from three manufacturing sites  (Modena, Ivrea and Shenzhen), boasting 27 years of industry experience and a dedicated team of 17 professionals at its headquarters. Our ISO9001 quality commitment (achieved in 2015) underlines our approach. As a certified B Corporation since 2023, KF  takes pride in its commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, with particular  focus on the environment,  community,  employees and all external stakeholders.

The acronym KF, “Key to the Future”, reflects our focus on being the key to the future for  our customers, offering exceptional value and high-quality service both before and after the sale.
