'''Ferrania''', founded in 1923, was an Italian company known mainly as a producer of film, but they produced some cameras as well and were also involved in various other areas related to photography such as printing. [[3M]] acquired the company in the 1964. The 3M brand and Scotch was most commonly used. Cine film was discontinued. By this time their films were mostly store branded films bearing "Made in Italy" as the only indication. In 1995, after 3M's restructuring its data-storage and imaging businesses became '''Imation''', a couple of years later the film division was sold off and the Ferrania name returned. In 2006, Ferrania was restructured into '''Ferrania Technologies''', which concentrated primarily on pharmaceutical products, and a solar panel division called '''Ferrania Solis'''. In October 2012, the company fired almost all of their employees, after they had already stopped film production in late 2009.

Ferrania, founded in 1923, was an Italian company known mainly as a producer of film, but they produced some cameras as well and were also involved in various other areas related to photography such as printing. 3M acquired the company in the 1964. The 3M brand and Scotch was most commonly used. Cine film was discontinued. By this time their films were mostly store branded films bearing "Made in Italy" as the only indication. In 1995, after 3M's restructuring its data-storage and imaging businesses became Imation, a couple of years later the film division was sold off and the Ferrania name returned. In 2006, Ferrania was restructured into Ferrania Technologies, which concentrated primarily on pharmaceutical products, and a solar panel division called Ferrania Solis. In October 2012, the company fired almost all of their employees, after they had already stopped film production in late 2009.

In 2013, the successor company Film Ferrania acquired Ferrania's old production machinery with the purpose to restart film production.
