History

FIVISA / Fierro Vignoli S.A. was founded in August 1941 by Carlos Fierro Vignoli. In 1952 it adopted the corporate name Fierro Vignoli S.A., under which it has operated ever since.

At the beginning it specialized in selling lighting equipment and related products, but some years later it began operations in the sector of electric supplies. It has been steadily growing and currently has nine shops and a logistics center for merchandise distribution.

In 1960, the company opened its first branch in the city of Maldonado, contributing to promote tourism development in the eastern zone of the country. By 1965 it had consolidated as the main supplier of electric supplies in the Uruguayan market.

The company later established in the Departments of Paysandú, then Salto and Colonia. Almost at the same time, it was decided to open a second branch in the Department of Maldonado, specifically in the city of Punta del Este.
The expansion process continued, and in the 1990s, a branch was opened in Ciudad de la Costa, Solymar. Also in that decade, we opened our Hardware Department, as another area to complement our lines of supplies, thus offering a wider variety of products for the convenience of our customers.

The last two branches were opened in the Departments of Tacuarembó and Mercedes, increasing our presence and leadership in the country.
The dedication and hard work of all the employees of FIVISA have enabled us to become an icon and leader in the Uruguayan electric product market, offering high-quality services with renowned added value, with the guaranty of our 65 years of life.
