For more than a century Berardi Bullonerie Srl has been at the forefront of fastening distribution and has recently inaugurated a new facility in Castel Guelfo di Bologna, Italy.
Established in 1919, Berardi has become a reference point in C-parts supply by ensuring that it provides customers with an ever expanding range of products. The company’s new facility is already fully operational, with 10,000m² dedicated to warehouses and offices – enabling Berardi to supply 45,000+ articles including screws, fasteners and C-class items.
The company’s continual investment is a clear sign of its willingness to provide total support to customers, as well as services aimed at satisfying the most varied requirements.
“Care, quality, lighting and space were key factors when building the new facility, as everyday a hundred employees work to ensure that the Berardi Group, and its 15 branches throughout Italy, duly deliver our first-class services,” explains Giovanni Berardi, owner at Berardi Bullonerie. “Our capillary of offices around Italy ensure that we are close to our customers and the personalised logistic services we are able to provide meet our customers’ exacting demands.”
The integrated logistics services have enabled Berardi to reduce costs whilst providing a service advantage to customers wanting quality, security and traceability. “At Berardi we are always looking at how we can provide a better service at a lower cost,” mentions Giovanni. “The new logistics service is a prime example of us improving the service whilst still supplying high-quality products.”
Berardi ensures the quality of its products through its partnership with qualified suppliers and the support of a fully equipped quality laboratory. Berardi can offer full traceability of its products and its product range is constantly growing.
The company supplies a number of industries including automotive, construction, agriculture, and earth moving, and can supply a calibrated service depending on individual customer’s needs. “We have the latest generation of sorting machines and we are able to supply products with a guaranteed defect levels in parts per million,” says Giovanni. “Customer expectations on service and product standards are constantly growing. Our product is a simple product, but it is the lifeblood of assembly lines and there is no room for improvisation. A delay in supply or a qualitative problem can block an entire line.”
Giovanni concludes: “The new facility is a sign of our growth in terms of turnover, employee numbers, and the number of products we can supply. For the future, we will look to increase the number of products sold to our already established customers and increase our presence in emerging markets – where we believe there are more interesting development margins. The new facility will enable us to do all this whilst still providing an increasingly fast and effective service.”
