The origins
General Fittings is founded in Marcheno, in Val Trompia. The company starts producing brass fittings, immediately establishing the value of Made in Italy in the plumbing and heating sector.
Over 40 years of experience in plumbing and heating systems

A path of continuous growth that has made us a reference partner for brass fittings, manifolds, valves, mixing units and radiant systems.
