Bedeschi is a family owned company established in 1908 close to Venice, in the North Eastern part of Italy. In the last decade the company has experienced a big growth becoming one of the leading providers of integrated solutions for bulk material handling in many different industries. Bedeschi in the fifties was able to differentiate its field of operation from bricks industry (where the Company was born and still one of its BUs) entering the cement business leveraging on the ability to handle wet and sticky raw materials typical of the brick manufacturing process. This know how satisfied a need of the cement manufacturer when moving from wet to dry process and allowed Bedeschi to qualify as a reliable supplier to cement players, being end users or engineering company. After this first step, the Company kept increasing both its offers of products and services with three main guidelines: to innovate for better products, to provide tailor made solutions and to keep in house manufacturing of the most critical components. Bedeschi is today the only provider with its own manufacturing facilities in Europe: the company operates two workshops in North Italy for a total of more of 40.000 square meter. This choice provides the highest reliability in the manufacturing quality, spare parts logistics and fastest product optimization being design and manufacturing located in the same place. As of today Bedeschi is the only worldwide provider with recent and successfully references with coal, fertilizers, grain, limestone, bauxite, iron ore ecc. both for off-shore and on shore applications as well as industrial plants.
