New FABRI corporate design

25.04.2024

We are proud to present the new FABRI corporate design today. ‍ Since 2020, we have been able to look back on continuous development. Today, as a successful group with 11 companies and over 350 employees across Germany, we are pleased to present our new corporate design, which represents our values all the more. ‍ Decentralization, partnership and longevity are of central importance to us. Our new brand identity manifests these values. A small square is the perfect basic form in the world of design. The square is the most stable of all shapes and therefore forms a reliable basis. It is complemented by an angle as a dynamic element that symbolizes craftsmanship. That is what we stand for, that is what FABRI stands for. The gap between the elements underlines the decentralization of the FABRI Group, and thus the independence of our companies. It is not decided “from above”, but by the “local people.” Another chapter begins, with a new image as a strong symbol of a successful future.
