Overview

Bolzoni S.p.A. is an Italian industrial group specialised in material handling equipment, best known as a manufacturer of forklift truck attachments and related lifting solutions. Headquartered in Piacenza, Italy, the company markets its products worldwide under three main product brands — Bolzoni, Auramo and Meyer — and describes itself as "The Material Handling Group." Its catalogue covers paper roll clamps, carton clamps, bale clamps, forks, lift tables, pallet handlers and other attachments designed for logistics, warehousing, paper, tissue, food and general manufacturing industries. The group traces its industrial roots to the post-war Italian manufacturing boom and celebrated its 80th anniversary, presenting itself as a partner supporting the growth of small, medium and large companies by handling their products in Italy, Europe and worldwide. Over the decades it expanded through organic growth and acquisitions, building a multi-brand structure that lets it address different geographic markets and customer segments with dedicated product lines. Bolzoni is listed on the Italian stock exchange and maintains an investor relations function with public tender offer documentation, reports and accounts, financial press releases and analyst presentations. Its international footprint is reflected in a country selector covering the Americas (Brazil, Canada, United States), Asia/Pacific (Australia, China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, Sri Lanka), Europe (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom) and Africa (Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, South Africa). The company positions itself as a point of reference in many logistics sectors, developing a large range of forklift truck attachments in close cooperation with customers worldwide. Its engineering know-how is applied to specialised handling problems such as paper roll handling, where rolls vary greatly in diameter, width and weight, and to broader warehouse logistics needs. Bolzoni also offers a mobile app and maintains corporate governance materials including a code of ethics, organisation model and shareholder meeting regulations. In recent years the group has continued to exhibit at industry trade fairs, including MIAC 2026, where it showcased handling excellence for the tissue industry, from tissue roll handling to warehouse solutions. This combination of a long industrial heritage, a multi-brand product portfolio and an international sales and service network defines Bolzoni's position in the global material handling equipment market.

History

Bolzoni S.p.A. is an Italian material handling group based in Piacenza that has grown over eight decades into an international manufacturer of forklift truck attachments and lifting equipment. The company's own communications mark its 80th anniversary, framing its history as one of supporting the growth of small, medium and large companies by handling their products in Italy, Europe and worldwide. The group's development reflects the broader evolution of European industrial logistics after the Second World War, when mechanised handling of goods in factories and warehouses expanded rapidly. Bolzoni built its reputation on engineering attachments that allow standard forklift trucks to handle specialised loads — paper rolls, cartons, bales and other unit loads — rather than only pallets. This focus on application-specific attachments became the foundation of its product strategy. Over time the group adopted a multi-brand structure. Its product brands include Bolzoni, Auramo and Meyer, each associated with particular attachment lines and market positions. The group describes itself as a point of reference in many logistics sectors, with a large range of forklift truck attachments developed in close cooperation with customers worldwide. This customer-driven engineering approach allowed it to serve industries such as paper and tissue, where rolls are manufactured in a great variety of diameters, widths and weights, as well as general manufacturing and warehousing. Bolzoni became a listed company on the Italian stock exchange, adding an investor relations dimension to its industrial identity. Its website provides public tender offer documentation, reports and accounts, financial press releases, analyst presentations and IPO materials, alongside corporate governance documents such as the code of ethics, organisation model, shareholders' meeting regulations and procedures. This governance framework indicates a company that has matured from a family-rooted industrial business into a publicly accountable group. Internationally, Bolzoni expanded its commercial reach across the Americas, Asia/Pacific, Europe and Africa. Its country selector lists markets including Brazil, Canada and the United States; Australia, China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka; Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom; and Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya and South Africa. This footprint supports global OEM and aftermarket customers who need locally available attachments and service. In the 2020s the group continued to invest in market visibility and product development. In September 2026 it showcased handling excellence for the tissue industry at MIAC 2026, presenting solutions from tissue roll handling to warehouse logistics. The company also offers a Bolzoni mobile app, reflecting a broader trend of digital tools supporting equipment selection and service. Today Bolzoni remains an active Italian industrial brand, combining a long manufacturing heritage with a multi-brand, internationally oriented material handling portfolio.
