Reinventing tools since 1973
Canfor Utensili Srl was founded in Milan on 1973 with an innovative idea “the nylon fish tape Ø 4 mm” which was an alternative to the steel fish-tapes generally used.
The nylon fish tape had a continuous development from both qualitative and innovative points of view. Thereafter Canfor designs, realizes and introduces new products on the market, both for civil and industrial applications, as the nylon-steel fish tapes or the glassfiber fish tapes.
Expanding the range
Since 1985 Canfor introduces cases and reels for fish tapes: efficient tools which keep in order and always available the fish-tape.
Nowadays Canfor has one of the most of assorted range of products both of national and international level.
Every electrician can choose the right product which meets and satisfies all their demands taking into consideration both the kind of job to carry out and their own budget. Canfor pays attention to electricians’ needs, that’s why includes new practical products like the range of decoilers and cable grips. Specific products for installing cables can be found in Canfor, for example the antifriction liquid which facilitates and solves all problems due to insertion and pull of cables into the pipes.

In the new millennium Canfor introduces new practical and useful products, also patented, like the Perlon® IDEAL Fish tape and the Motorized Reels IN.TI. Since 2006 a new innovative and helpful fish tape comes to the market: the DINAMIC polyester fish tape.
