Fania and BBT go a long way back.
With thousands of cables sold per year and hardly any complaints we feel we have a good brand of cable on offer for the right price.
Fania is in the beautiful city of Itajubà, a mere 400km north of Sao Paolo.
It’s a long drive so I decided to make myself a mobile office on the back seat of my driver Emerson’s car…:)
The moments I wasn’t working I was spoiled with the beautiful Brazilian landscape.
Arrived we start first with a factory tour before our meeting.
@ Fania everything starts with raw material arriving.
Test, test, test is the big secret of the Fania quality, incoming raw material, half product and finished product.
All are tested thoroughly on the most sophisticated test equipment necessary.
The production happens in several different departments… I will try to give you an overview…
Here is part of the assembly department.
Cable winder department….
Plastic injection department…
This was my favorite department Speedo cable winding…
A speedo cable is made from 4 times 4 wires over one central cable,
Let me try to show how it works in next the video.

The city of Itajubà is situated in the state of Minas Gerais a mere 586.520km² in size, that’s almost 20 times! Belgium (30.528 km²) and that’s only one state, not even 7% of the total Brazilian surface of 8.502.728km².
They always told me they have good coffee in Minas Gerais, I can approve all rumors now…:)
The way back was even more beautiful as the way up… we took a slightly different road…
What a trip, what a day…
I want to thank Edgar, Luiz, Liliane and the entire Fania team for this wonderful meeting and tour, I think we both learned a lot and our partnership become only stronger!
The Fania brand will appear on our website soon and we will show the Fania logo’s with pride.
If you have any Fania need or question, or like to produce whatever cable, please contact us, for sure we can help You.
Oh yes, a very special thank you to my driver, Emerson, Brazilian best driver! If you ever need a driver in Southern Brazil, I can only recommend him!
