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. 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.
