sinCe 1906

the originsoF BDF inDustriesThe origins of BDF Industries date back to 1906, when Giuseppe Boscato began designing and producing mechanical parts for the industry of that period. After World War I, Giuseppe Boscato and Adamo Dalla Fontana, owner of a workshop, joined their forces to establish a company in Vicenza, in the historical headquarters of Ponte Alto.

Under the name of “Boscato & Dalla Fontana”, the company was a mechanical workshop for the design and construction of special machines and equipment.After the World War II, Boscato & Dalla Fontana converted its production range and began to design and produce centre lathes for the mechanical

industry and looms for the textile industry.In the early ‘50s the company began producing parts for the glass industry, and a few years later, in 1956 – the first in Europe – constructed a completely automatic four-section hollow glass forming machine.

1935Adamo Dalla Fontana developed

an idea of Tullio Campagnolo, owner of a bicycle components

factory, going so far as todesign a revolutionary “change

in Baton”.

1924Electrical energy was produced using a water mill (still existing) that could supply about 18-20

kW/h of power to the parallel lathes in the BDF workshop with

leather transmission belt.

1945After the war, “Boscato & Dalla Fontana” starts designing parallel lathes for mechanical industry and textile looms, producing machinery parts for companies like Lanerossi.

1910Combustion engine which, connected to an alternator, provided electrical lighting for the very first time on a road in Schio (Vicenza province).

1964• First IS 5+5 tandem.• MCR Systems Srl Starts its activity.

1994BDF was the first ever company to

introduce electronics into themoving parts of mechanisms

(Servo Invert and Servo Take Out).

2000BDF variable gob weight

1982First European cableway with microprocessor control.

2011BDF Shanghai was established.With the aim to guarantee toAsian Customers a timely andefficient technical andlogistical support.

2014• May: BDF InDuSTRIES south america starts operating.• September: BDF InDuSTRIES North america was established.

1930The company worked for the Ministry of defense in the production of spare parts for the Army, the Navy and the Air Force.

1956First 4 sec. IS Machine completely manufactured in Europe.

1906Mr. Giuseppe Boscato founded

a workshop dedicated to the design and the production of

mechanical parts.

1976TDE Macno SpA Starts its activity

of designing and developing comprehensive and

straight forward solutions to a wide variety of industrial

automation applications.

1968-1975Participation in some

Italian glass plants.

1968First IS 8 sec in the world.

1921Mr. Giuseppe Boscato and Adamo Dalla Fontana joined forces, establishing “ BDF - Boscato & Dalla Fontana”.

1950BDF starded producing parts

and offering maintenance in the field of glass making.

Since then, BDF has developed its production for the glass industry, quickly becoming a leader worldwide, with its own field of research and development.

From the experience accumulated by working with a number of Italian glass manufacturers (between 1969 and 1975), BDF came to understand the importance of automation and control in the glass industry. Consequently, starting in the ’80s, the company decided to become a supplier able to offer not only the machines but also process solutions and technologies.

In 1988 BDF acquired TDE Macno S.p.A. a company that since 1976, year of its foundation, has been manufacturing and developing solutions for industrial automation. TDE Macno deals with the supply of materials handling (inverters) of electric motors and the implementation of systems for the command and control of industrial processes.

In 2001 BDF acquired Glass Technologies S.r.l., one of the most important Italian engineering companies serving the glass industry. Glass Technologies develops projects and engineering of melting furnaces, distributors and forehearths. Its solutions includes both entirely new projects and installations on existing systems aimed at improving plant performances and energy savings.

In 2002 BDF SERVIS d.o.o was born, a company which core business includes the development, installation and maintenance of mechanical equipment for the production of glass packaging, electronics and automation.

In 2003 BDF acquired MCR Systems S.r.l., founded in 1982 by engineers who had been working since 1964 with production-related issues. The experience of MCR covers all applications: measurement, monitoring and control facilities for the production plants.

In 2009 BDF established the BDF Energy division with the aim to promote alternative and ecologically compatible solutions by developing and producing technically advanced system able to generate energy both electrical and thermal.

In November 2013 Glass Technologies S.r.l. and MCR Systems S.r.l. merged with BDF Industries S.p.A. becoming the ideal and global partner for the glass industry, with a complete and appropriate expertise and know-how for all the aspects of the glass plant life.
