Successful family business

The Italian company Gabber, founded in 1976 and based in Brogliano, boasts wide experience in the design, manufacture and export of products for small animals, such as cages for rodents and cages and aviaries for birds, as well as plastic articles for cats and dogs.
Gabber has premises covering nearly 6,000 m².
The family business established as a small firm by Vasco Bertinato has developed steadily over time and has grown in size and importance. It has also extended its product range, thanks to investment in modern machinery with the aim of enlarging the production unit. Gabber now has premises covering nearly 6,000 m², employs around 35 people and has acquired high-tech automatic equipment that guarantees the production of high-quality articles, some of which are patented, and a reduction in production costs so as to maintain a good quality/price ratio.
