About Us

Spawned by a team of creative thinkers working at a nationwide industrial manufacturing company, FABICI is a mashup of century old capacity, craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and art. The result is a next generation business model that celebrates and encourages open source, social responsibility, and conscious consumption.

The Family

We are people who want to Make Things Better.  We Care, love to Learn, love to Build, and love to Improve.  We generally agree that society needs a strong nudge to get back on track towards positive progress; that our current path is unsustainable on a several fronts.  Among our contributors are makers, musicians, artists, history buffs, DIY’ers and homelabbers.  We generally have a “built not bought” philosophy and feel at home in communities that embrace open source.  Head on over to our People section to get more details on some of the team.

The Place

We are located in downtown Montreal along the Lachine Canal,  nestled within our parent company, Robco, that also has production facilities that we use in Edmonton, Toronto and Quebec city.  We are gradually expanding our makerspace style innovation lab by adding and building new prototype-scale  equipment as the need arises.  We believe in open innovation and imagine amazing progress if passionate makers around the world could collaborate to develop hardware in a manner similar to open source software.
