Engineered long-lasting seals for the wind industry

For more than 40 years, the business experience of F.LLI PARIS(FP) allows customers to profit from innovative technical solutions guaranteed for a wide range of sealing problems and troubleshooting, supplying seals to a variety of heavy-duty industries: from steel mills to paper mills, from earth moving equipment to the naval sector.

Thanks to strategic partnerships with both wind turbine manufacturers and engineering companies, FP has developed a wide range of seals dedicated to the wind energy business since 1998: textile-rubber reinforced seals, large rubber-to-metal seals, pitch and yaw profiles, and O-Rings plus a variety of custom-made items.

What makes F.LLI PARIS different from other larger producers is the elasticity in making investment decisions for matching customer needs in terms of unique developments, quality, and quantities required to fulfill the project. The business range of FP now covers 79 countries worldwide and is still growing, with a dedicated local presence with its own offices in the hot investment areas.

Challenging but rewarding implementation

F.LLI PARIS started its journey with APQP4Wind in 2021 by sending technique specialists and administrative managers to APQP4Wind Training courses at DNV. The trainees are now certified APQP4Wind users and more and more employees will join the group in the future. In January 2022, FP became an official member of the APQP4Wind Community by signing up for the APQP4Wind Company Membership.

More than 10% of the FP´s turnover is related to the wind industrial segment. Therefore, joining APQP4Wind was a desirable and necessary choice to raise awareness of the potentiality of FP's global wide-ranged production. Implementing APQP4Wind into the system used in the past 25 years of wind seal production has been a tough challenge, as the previous way of operating was easier. However, FP believes in the potential of the professional APQP4Wind framework and trusts it will lead to great success. Sales and Marketing Director at F.LLI PARIS, Gianstefano Foresti, says:

Gianstefano Foresti confirms that FP is working increasingly with APQP developments on various projects in many industrial fields. The wind industry is booming, and FP wants to be the leading supplier of seals for such businesses by applying quality assurance to achieve higher customer satisfaction.

APQP4Wind adds value to the company profile

F.LLI PARIS aims to provide cost-effective products to OEMs and support the growing maintenance industry by providing new ideas for replacement parts with the help of innovative splicing kits and reducing overall maintenance costs.

The APQP4Wind concept helps F.LLI PARIS to grow and enlarge its knowledge of the quality terms requested by the wind industry. Implementing APQP4Wind makes FP understand the common language in the wind industry and, thereby, truly understand the customers’ expectations and requirements. It also helps FP to constantly develop and propose top-engineered seals with upgraded and lasting performances on new equipment and wind turbines.

“Wind energy is important for a green future, and F.LLI PARIS is committed to the industry. We have been developing seals with low environmental impact, not only when installed into the wind turbines but also in production. We are experts in seals, and thanks to APQP4Wind, we are more confident in meeting customers’ demands, following our motto: Think sealing. ”  says Gianstefano Foresti, Sales and Marketing Director at F.LLI PARIS.
