Company Profile
Forty-five years ago, back in 1956, the Bonfiglioli Group experience began. At that time, the market was still taking shape and demanded
ever-increasing production capacities from the industry.
In order to conquer a leading position over an increasing number of competitors, Costruzioni Meccaniche Bonfiglioli started its activity under the trademark C.M.B. and launched an innovative project in the field of speed reduction units, abandoning the gear construction for other companies.
The first gearboxes entirely designed and produced in-house were wormgears, followed by helical units and then by a parallel shaft series. These products enabled C.M.B. to expand to more application fields, until the successful approach to packaging machines, produced mostly in Bologna, as well as conveyors and woodworking machines.
Ever committed to grow and improve, the company patented a two-stage planetary gearbox that set the standard for further improvement for the years to come. The performance and reliability of C.M.B.’s products led to the acquisition of ever growing market shares.
In order to meet changing and growing requirements, a first expansion project was launched involving several takeovers. Trasmital, taken over in 1976, was followed by the current Machining Division, Gear Division, Assembly Division, Silectron Sistemi and Vectron.
This is how a major corporation in the power transmission industry was born and became an established name worldwide: the Bonfiglioli Group.
