Baruffaldi’s participation in the two most recent trade fairs in the plastics sector went off with success.
In both of these important events, Plast Eurasia in Istanbul, Turkey and Equiplast in Barcelona, Spain, we received a lot of visitors, who showed great interest in Baruffaldi’s leading products: guillotines, punching machines for cable ducts and assembly machines for roller shutters.
On 25 November Baruffaldi took part in the PMI DAY – INDUSTRIAMOCI, organized by the employers’ association of Ferrara, Unindustria.
This initiative connects schools and local institutions to the world of work. Baruffaldi received a visit from students from the final year of the local technical school, who are of course about to enter the world of work for the first time. They were accompanied by their teachers and a representative of the local employer’s’ association, Unindustria.

Alberto Dosi gave them a tour of the company and its various departments and showed the students some of the machines being produced, the work processes involved and the end products these machines produce. The visit ended with a cheerful little get-together which gave the students the chance to exchange opinions with Mr Dosi and to offer him their thanks. Come on lads! Believe in yourselves, study and hone your skills. That way you’ll be free to choose!
Unindustria Ferrara has dedicated an article to Baruffaldi in its newspaper Ferrara Industria, entitled “Baruffaldi – leader in technology in 80 countries”.
Responding to the questions of Claudio Carminati, Alberto Dosi, boss of Baruffaldi Plastic Technology, tells how the company has managed to recover in spite of the on-going crisis.
Dr Dosi indicated four factors of success, cost optimisation, adapting offers to the various markets, updating technologies and constant investment in research and innovation, strategies that have given results: “since 2008 our turnover has more than doubled [...] and we now employ around 30 workers, 10 more than three years ago”.
Three years after the acquisition of the company came the moment to see how the Baruffaldi mark has reasserted itself as the undisputed world leader in technologies applied to quite a few products for working extruded plastic profiles, whether in or offline.
The event which took place on Thursday 22 and Friday 23 September at the company headquarters showed new and old customers the most innovative technological solutions as well as the high quality of the materials used and the services provided. Visitors came from various parts of the Europe such as Italy, France, Belgium, England, Germany and Croatia as well as from further afield, including Morocco, Thailand and India.
The On-Site Exhibition also provided those involved with the occasion to meet and thus to open up to new business opportunities and foster partnerships.
The tireless work of the sales team, backed up by the great professionalism of the engineering department showed the visiting guests how the machines are highly productive and how Baruffaldi plant can be customised to meet required solutions.
The event’s innovative formula was purposely conceived by Baruffaldi – which continues to grow in spite of the economic downturn – in order to gauge the results of the company’s strategy, which has staked everything on technological innovation and services, investing in the engineering and sales departments: the products were appreciated and new horizons and new markets were reached. Whatsmore, the whole team, who have learnt their skills within the company, showed how they work in synergy and with a team spirit in all projects.
As promised there was no lack of conviviality and fun (see the photo gallery).
There was also an emotional moment in the final moments of the intense two-day event when Dr Alberto Dosi whilst thanking the customers who had taken part and all the staff for their work, brought back to their memory Eng. Mauro Baruffaldi whose professional talents are still tangible in the firm today.

Baruffaldi’s presence at Brasilplast 2011 with the Italian group was a great success thanks to the amazing welcome we received in Brazil.
Although the Italian pavilion was not in a central position our stand received several visits by highly qualified people in the industry, whose interest in our punching and roller shutters packaging systems confirmed the importance of the Baruffaldi brand as the leading worldwide reference for end of line extrusion systems.
The collaboration with Stafer, a company with which Baruffaldi has launched a partnership in the field of commercial shutters, proved once again a winning strategy in view of the penetration that we are pursuing in this market. (more…)
Baruffaldi will be present at R+T, the leading world trade fair for roller shutters, doors / gates and sun protection systems that will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, from February 24 to March 3, 2012. We expect you in Hall 9 – Stand C41: fix an appointment »
