Faema (cycling team, 1955–1962)

Faema was a professional cycling team that existed from 1955 to 1962. The team's main sponsor was espresso machine manufacturer Faema. In 1963, the Faema and Flandria teams were merged.

In 1964, Faema disappeared as a sponsor in the peloton, but they returned four years later as Faemino–Faema with great success, notably through Eddy Merckx (from 1968 to 1970).
