About Bedeschi
Bedeschi S.p.A. is a family-owned Italian mechanical engineering company founded in Padua in 1908 and now run by the fourth generation. The company designs and manufactures complete turn-key solutions for bulk handling, mining, container logistics and the brick and roof tile industry. The portfolio includes belt conveyors, shiploaders, ship unloaders, Eco-Hoppers, stackers, reclaimers, crushing plants, cranes (STS, RMG/RTG, floating cranes) as well as extruders, setting robots and gripper technology for the heavy clay industry. The value chain ranges from feasibility studies and basic/detail engineering through component manufacturing in the company's own workshop and globally sourced steel construction to assembly, commissioning, revamping, spare parts supply and 24/7 field service. Customers include players from the cement, fertilizer and LNG/sulfur industries; reference projects include plants in Oman, Ghana, Peru and Qatar. Headquarters and production are located in Limena (Padua) on 50,000 m² of industrial space, of which 20,000 m² is covered; further offices and subsidiaries exist in Italy, Germany, the USA, Dubai, India, Morocco, the UK, Hong Kong, Australia and Chile.
