La.Ro Srl has officially joined the KEA Industrial Group, already active in the cold forming sector with two production sites in France and Poland, to form a new European hub specialised in cold forming.
Representing a strategic step for both parties, this new collaboration, through the integration of their respective expertise and production structures, gives rise to a European industrial group highly specialised in the production of complex cold formed components for various industrial sectors.
The companies within the group boast a long and solid history in the industry - Bonioni S.A.S has been active for over 70 years and La.Ro Srl for more than 50. This industrial heritage reflects technical competence, organisational solidity, as well as deep market knowledge.
The benefits of this new industrial configuration include integration of highly qualified technical know-how, greater production capacity and flexibility, as well as consolidated commercial presence across key European markets. A distinguishing feature of this project is also the participation of the Ghezzi family – founders of La.Ro – in the KEA holding, as well as their continued operational role within the new structure. This ensures strategic and managerial continuity, preserving the values that have always characterised the company.
"This new collaboration strengthens our ability to innovate, expand, and respond even more effectively to the needs of our customers," comments La.Ro. "We are particularly excited to embark on this new journey with KEA. We believe that one of the strengths of this new group lies in the people who make it up – a cohesive, competent and passionate team that has built solid and recognised companies over time. This transition represents an opportunity to further enhance our human capital and foster the development of new skills in an international context."
