Ferranti: Dog Houses and Dog Kennels
Ferranti is an Italian company specialized in designing and manufacturing dog houses, dog kennels, and modular animal enclosures. Active since 1981, we have over 40 years of experience in the industry.
Our Story
Ferranti’s story is one of creativity, ingenuity, and passion. It started almost by chance, with clay nests for pigeons sold from under the house, and grew over time into online sales and presence in international markets. A journey of constant evolution, always focused on practical and functional solutions.
The Origins
In the 1980s, Enzo Bonacci (born 1947), driven by his passion for mechanics, accepted the challenge of a friend who raised pigeons: to create a mold for handmade clay nests. From this, a unique machine was born, able to automate production and significantly reduce costs.
His passion for Lancia cars also influenced the machine’s design: it was operated using a steering wheel repurposed from his dream car—a symbol of the craftsmanship and ingenuity that still define Ferranti today.
The first sales took place shortly after in the agricultural equipment store owned by his wife, Claudia Ferranti.
From Experimentation to Production
The desire to continually improve led soon to the design of the first iron cages to house the nests, developed based on the real needs of breeders. Participation in trade shows encouraged innovation and laid the foundation for producing cages for chickens, quail, rabbits, and other farm animals.
The Generational Shift
In 2000, Michele Bonacci, the founder’s son, introduced the company to the digital world. The launch of the e-commerce site allowed customers to access detailed information and buy comfortably from home, with delivery to their door. After establishing success in Italy, Ferranti began its expansion into European markets.
What We Do
Ferranti designs and manufactures dog houses, dog kennels, cat shelters, enclosures, chicken coops, aviaries, and rabbit hutches. Our solutions are modular, practical, and built to last, with the option for custom-made work based on specific needs.
