Company history
"Focused on the present" and "looking to the future"
The history of FDM began in the 1950s, initially as a manufacturer of refrigerated display cabinets and display cases and later as a specialised service centre, a reference point for all scientific laboratories equipped with refrigeration equipment, which was widespread in Rome in those years.
The second generation seized the opportunity to go from being a specialised repairer to a manufacturer of climatic chambers and refrigeration systems.
Finally, the third generation started the creation of a real brand, taking the distribution of FDM products worldwide.
The challenge is only just beginning.
The future of FDM is full of opportunities and well-integrated into an ever-changing market system with increasingly specific demands.

Mission
We help you control your "environment"
Being in charge of a scientific laboratory, whether it is linked to a public organisation or a private company, always requires a number of indispensable references when it comes to the choice of technological equipment: adequate solution, quality, resistance, precision of performance and rapid problem-solving.
The products and services provided by FDM encompass all these pluses, with added value: Do you have a specific need? We are able to provide the right answer through the appropriate technical or technological solution.
FDM Today
Two key benefits: products designed to meet your needs and a highly efficient online service.
The Latin motto "all roads lead to Rome" perfectly suits FDM.
Rome is the capital of Italy, and the products supplied by FDM are designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy, in FDM's Rome production plant.
Technical assistance is coordinated from Italy, and it is the same engineers who design the products who ensure remote assistance; a very effective hotline that is highly appreciated worldwide. This benefit makes it possible to fully satisfy our customers, even the most distant ones, who decide to buy our products also for this reason.
However, it is not uncommon for the solution required by end-users to be satisfied more simply by purchasing one of our standard products; in these cases, the quality of the product and the "human dimension" of FDM help the customer in his choice.

Testimonies
Stefania C.Initially we didn't know about FDM, but prices were really competitive. Looking at the products on the site, however, we realized that there was also great quality and the company have been working in the field for a long time. It's been years and we have several refrigerators and climatic chambers. In all this time there has been no need for technical interventions.
Francesco R.We wanted to expand our services by performing accelerated aging tests. We have discovered FDM. The staff guided us and provided all information to get the right equipment for our requirements. Today we can provide an extra service so we are able to expand our customer base.
Simone A.I am a PhD in medical physics and work in Research & Development of Tissue Mimicking Materials for Quality Control in Ultrasound.
The work involves the production of Hydrogels, which are "crosslinked" through a series of freezing and thawing cycles.
Since the properties of the hydrogel depend on the freezing/thawing temperature and on how long they are maintained at the set temperature, the FDM climatic chamber was the perfect choice for my testing requirements.
I currently work with a T370BXPRO, 310lt, with 10P /50S plus programmer. The chamber is easy to program and at the time of purchase I was advised to add an "output" to collect real time data on a USB pen drive.
I chose to add the additional USB function and it turned out to be very appropriate. The data is saved real time in an Excel file inside the USB pen. At any time it is possible to unplug the USB pen, open the Excel file and analyze all the data collected. This is very useful if you do research, to carry out the internal Quality Control in the Company on the production chain.
I took full responsibility for the choice. I chose the device and chose the company from which to buy it. Italian company, despite living and working in the UK. I asked for technical information before buying and the Customer Service was very precise, efficient and reliable.
I have been using the climatic chamber for about 1 year, I had only a small initial problem on the software (the peak temperature went up 1 or 2 degrees more than the programmed one), but the Customer Service was readily available to solve it. The software programming manager connected remotely on my laptop and reprogrammed the chamber. From that moment on, it worked without any problem.
The elements that convinced me were certainly the structure of the website, the clear presence of all the information (technical sheets, products, etc.), the price, the certificates indicated on the site (ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 13485: 2012 and above all 93/42 / CEE), the efficiency of the Customer Service.
Today I can manage the freezing and thawing cycles of my material. I can schedule the freezing and thawing rate (°C/min), I can easily collect and analyze the data. This allows me to do R&D of new "recipes" and materials.
Sabrina N.We needed a Thermostatic Chamber immediately, we had a faulty one and a very important test was underway. FDM has been our supplier for other equipment for several years now, so we went with our eyes closed and relied on them. We were very satisfied with FDM's readiness and quick shipment despite the very little time anticipated. Our department is now safe with the new room.
Susanna P.Our research team needed to study and analyze certain behaviors of the Arabidopsis plant to climate change. It was essential to find a growth chamber of a size that could fit with the growth of the plant. The search for the ideal equipment was quite focused, even thanks to the advice of colleagues, given that the quality and offer received matched with our requirements. Certainly superior to the proposals of the competitors. We are succeeding very well in our research goal, thanks to the precise control of these chambers and the suitable dimensions.
