Bonfiglioli decided to expand exports in the early 1980s and set up a global sales network revolving around subsidiaries and distributors in Spain, France, the UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Germany.
The success and excellent reputation that Bonfiglioli products soon enjoyed around the world quickly led to an increase in the number of subsidiaries and their transformation into production and assembly plant complete with their own pre-sales and after-sales service networks.

Bonfiglioli India was established in 1999 as another step in the strategic process of internationalisation begun twenty years previously. Today, this ultra-modern plant in Chennai (Madras) employs over 250 people and is becoming a bridgehead for expansion throughout Asia, a continent with a vast sales potential and a constantly increasing user base.


Bonfiglioli has always understood the importance of investing in and developing new technology. The Mosaico project is typical of this. The Mosaico system that Bonfiglioli introduced in 2000 is one of the most interesting e-commerce projects in Europe.
