Founded in 1957 by a glassworks mechanic, Italy’s Bottero S.p.A. designs and manufactures machinery for processing both flat and hollow glass, an unusually broad reach that also includes complete laminated and float-glass production lines. Headquartered in Cuneo, the group now has more than 600 employees, including 212 engineers, and supports installations in 100 nations through international factories, branches and service teams. Its history runs from early flat-glass inventions to hollow-glass container machinery introduced in 1966, with process simulation, engineering support and ongoing R&D at the center of its work.
