FABBRICAZIONE RAPPRESENTANZE INDUSTRIALI S.r.l.

Fabbricazione Rappresentanze Industriali S.r.l. (FRI SRL) is an Italian valve manufacturer and engineering company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Salt di Povoletto, Udine, in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. Founded initially as the exclusive representative and manufacturing site for the German company Zikesch (part of Bopp & Reuther), FRI evolved after the 2015 acquisition of Bopp & Reuther/Zikesch by IMI to commercialize valves under its own brand. The company specializes in custom-engineered valves for critical and special applications including corrosive/erosive media, high pressure and temperature, sour service, cryogenic (down to -268°C), superheated steam (up to 690°C), and special services (oxygen, helium, liquid hydrogen). FRI maintains a current facility of approximately 3,800 square meters of workshop and office space and holds API certifications for API 600, API 602, API 6A, API 6D, and API 6DSS. The product portfolio includes gate, globe, check, ball, plug, butterfly, control, and specialty valves in cast and forged configurations. Key customers include Baker Hughes, QatarEnergy LNG, QAPCO, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Saudi Aramco, ADNOC, and Kazakhstan operating companies. FRI registered three patents for liquid hydrogen valve applications in 2024 and has established FRI Kazakhstan for the Kazakh market. The company operates with a lean structure allowing fast-track delivery while maintaining the technical depth of a larger organization.
