EFFE (FODONE) - Tradition and Quality in Ignition Technology
Since 1900, EFFE has been synonymous with high-quality ignition components
The company EFFE was founded by Vittorio Fodone in Turin, Italy, and boasts a long and rich history. Originally, the company started as a goldsmith specializing in the production of platinum contacts. These contacts were used in precision mechanical and electrical components, showcasing the company’s technical expertise and commitment to high quality from the very beginning.
In the 1960s, Enrico Fodone, the founder’s son, took over the business and recognized the potential for expansion. He introduced the production of breaker points—essential components for vehicle ignition systems. This development marked a significant milestone in the company’s history, as the growing demand for reliable and precisely manufactured ignition parts enabled EFFE to establish itself not only in Italy but also in international markets. Before long, the company was supplying leading Italian and international vehicle manufacturers with high-quality ignition components.
Today, EFFE is one of the leading manufacturers of electrical and electronic components for cars, motorcycles, and scooters. Its product range is extensive, including capacitors, breaker points, and other essential ignition components for both classic and modern vehicles. The company is particularly renowned in the field of vintage and classic vehicle technology, producing high-quality reproductions of ignition parts that are often no longer available as original parts.
With over 100 years of experience and a deep-rooted passion for precision and quality, EFFE has established itself as a trusted partner for workshops, restorers, and vehicle enthusiasts. The company focuses on continuous innovation, combining traditional manufacturing techniques with modern technologies to provide top-tier ignition solutions for the future. Choosing EFFE means opting for quality, reliability, and a tradition that dates back to the early days of the automotive industry.
