In 1906 Giovanni Farina established Stabilimenti Farina at Turin. Learning from his experience gained in his earlier career, Farina combined his aesthetic design ideas with an industrialised approach. From 1919 they added the capacity to mass produce bodies, starting with the Temperino, at a rate of around 1500 per year. Research into mechanical devices such as brakes and sunroof mechanisms was also followed. Famous designers, apart from the Farina brothers, who worked there included Boano, Frua and Michelotti. They closed in the early 1950's.
