2022 – A year to celebrate

For more than 65 years Finder has been designing, developing, manufacturing and distributing products for the industrial, and the residential and commercial sectors worldwide.
Year upon year the Finder organization has grown – always looking towards the future and keeping a close eye on developing innovation.
With four production facilities in Europe, and 29 subsidiaries around the world, Finder’s Italian heart beats in Europe, the United States, Latin America and Asia.

Growing together means sharing values and creating relationships, creating synergy – and continuing the “switch to the future” process – contributing to a history that started almost seventy years ago.

2022 is a year to celebrate: new subsidiaries have been established, others are celebrating a special anniversary, and some have reached historical milestones.

Just a few days ago Finder LATAM celebrated its first 5 years in business. It was a special anniversary for the logistics centre located in Uruguay, which distributes Finder products in 7 countries in South America (Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay and of course Uruguay itself).

30 is the number of years that the Finder subsidiaries in the Netherlands and Switzerland have recently reached – important events that strengthen the relationship of trust with customers in these two countries. The same milestone is to be reached in 2023 by two other subsidiaries: the United States and the United Kingdom.

Other subsidiaries are well over 30 and are gearing up for their next big anniversary: Germany and France, Finder’s oldest subsidiaries are preparing to celebrate their first 40 years by 2025. Both Austria and Belgium celebrate their silver jubilee this year.

Brazil and the Czechia were established in 1998 and 1997 respectively, followed by Sweden, Spain, and Portugal in 2002. Between 2003 and 2017 no less than 9 Finder subsidiaries were incorporated, in: Mexico, Hungary, Romania, Hong Kong, Argentina, Denmark, Russia, India and Poland.

This process hasn’t slowed down, and in 2018 the Lithuanian subsidiary – a hub for the Baltic States – was established, followed by Canada the following year.

In 2020, in spite of the pandemic, Finder opened subsidiaries in Slovenia and Panama, while the most recent subsidiary was opened in Turkey earlier this year.

Thanks to its 29 subsidiaries and 1,300 employees, Finder can distribute the 14,500 products in its catalogue across the globe, thus meeting the needs of customers in both the industrial, and residential and commercial sectors.
