BANDERA HISTORY
1947 Costruzioni Meccaniche Luigi Bandera started the operations. 1950 the company turned into a joint stock company. Within 1960 and 1970, the activities expanded to an industrial scale.
Through 1980 and 1990s the company became an acknowledged leader among the extrusion equipment manufacturers. Bandera, currently managed by Piero and Franco, the founder’s sons, has recently focussed its product range on: • Blown film (packaging/converting/agrifilm) • Rigid film with flat die technology and thick sheets
