Established in 1908 as a prominent supplier of complete plants for the brick industry, Bedeschi expanded into the cement industry in the 1950s, leveraging its expertise in brick production and officially entering the material handling industry.
Since then, the company has consolidated as one of the top players in the market, acquiring know-how and expertise in different fields.
Today, Bedeschi is an international company with strong Italian roots. The company is still a family-owned business — currently, the fourth and fifth generations of the family are deeply involved in daily operations.
Bedeschi prides itself on being able to supply any type of bulk material handling systems from pit to port: from quarry extraction to storage, including crushing units, apron feeders, stackers and reclaimers, combined bucket wheels, ship loaders/unloaders, and any kind of conveyors (plant, pipe, overland conveyors) and transshipment solutions. In addition, the company serves different industries, from bricks and cement to mining, grains and oilseeds, fertilizers and chemicals, deep sea mining, steel, and power. Furthermore, it proudly supplies machines to handle alternative fuels like biomass, waste, and green steel.
The commitment of the company to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into every aspect of its operations is highlighted in the Sustainability Report that Bedeschi publishes every year; this year will be its third. By focusing on sustainable practices, ethical governance, and fostering a positive social impact, the company aims to create long-term value for its stakeholders and the communities it serves. This commit ment drives continuous improvement in areas such as technological solutions, human resource development, health and safety, training, gender equality, and social inclusion.
Recognizing that sustainability is no longer optional but a moral necessity, Bedeschi is already setting new challenges and goals for responsible growth. The company has made significant progress in achieving the targets outlined in its previous report and is constantly working to improve its results.
To confirm its commitment to ESG issues, Bedeschi was awarded a significant contract to supply machines to handle environmentally friendly steel. The goal is to lead the way in sustainable practices, ensuring that operations meet the highest efficiency and safety standards and contributing positively to the environment and society. For a new DRI plant, it will supply the complete handling system (composed of wagon unloading/loading, stockyard, and conveyors) feeding the state-of-the-art plant. This project is a motivation to continue Bedeschi’s efforts in offering eco-friendly solutions and affirms their responsibility to create a sustainable future.
The company operates on a turnkey and bespoke approach, designing and engineering each project and machine from the ground up. Its team of skilled engineers leverages extensive experience to deliver the best custom solutions tailored to meet every client and project’s unique needs and requirements. Utilizing advanced in-house technologies and VR software, Bedeschi can adapt to any specifications, addressing factors such as structural constraints of the plant’s location, topological layout challenges, environmental protection regulations, and the presence of existing machinery.
Founded initially as an Italian equipment manufacturer, Bedeschi has evolved into one of the leading global players in its field, with a solid international presence and a diverse team of 15 nationalities. The company takes great pride in its progress over the years and looks forward to achieving even more in the years ahead.
