Goodbye Franco

We are extremely sad to announce the news that yesterday evening our beloved Franco Ferrari passed away and left the love of his family and his company.

He was a great man: kind and generous and always thinking of others before himself. It has been a privilege for us to be by his side over the years, trying to follow his example.

Franco began his "hydraulic life" in 1969 in Casappa S.p.A. where he worked with great passion and loyalty for 18 years.
In 1987 he began the Parmafluid S.r.l. adventure with enthusiasm and humbleness together with his three partners and friends Roberto Filippini, Giuseppe Lanfranchi and Giovanni Quattrini.
In 2002 he was a key figure to start the collaboration with VHS Hydraulic Components LTD together with Rob Turner and Daniel Whitehead.

For us he has been:
a skilled and proactive shareholder always looking to the future, and for whom people and families have always been at the forefront of his thoughts.
a partner and a faithful friend, you could always trust;
a master of hydraulics and life;
a dad... the best one anyone could have!

We thank you for your thoughts at this difficult time for all of us.
 

We will always remember him like in this video, taken live in the 2021 for Virtual Hannover Messe exhibition. Here he tells his history and his values.
