NoThe company was founded in 1989 in Chicago, Illinois, when the Italian parent company BOLZONI, manufacturer of forklift truck attachments and OEM products, decided to open a new production plant in the U.S. to meet local market requirements.
In 2001, the product range available on the U.S. market and sold by BOLZONI AURAMO Inc. was given a further boost following BOLZONI’s acquisition of the Finnish Group AURAMO, specialized and recognized worldwide for the forest and paper industry products.
In 2002, the acquisition of the well-known American brand BRUDI located in Houston, Texas, pioneer and market leader in palletless handling attachments worldwide, also added new products to the range and further strengthened BOLZONI AURAMO’s presence on the US market. In the same year, BOLZONI AURAMO Inc. expanded to new facilities in Homewood, Illinois, increasing its local production volumes and product mix.
BOLZONI AURAMO Inc. has also benefited from the launch of new fork product lines in Italy (2007) and China (2012) providing the world market with a complete range of forks for lift trucks, construction and agricultural material handling machines. Since its foundation, in close cooperation with its customers, BOLZONI AURAMO Inc. has continued to grow, becoming an essential business partner in many industries including paper and pulp, lumber, recycling, plastics, metals, food and beverages, fishery, pharmaceutical, logistics and any general handling.
