Marchesini Group designs and builds customised machines and lines for packaging pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The Group was founded in Pianoro, near Bologna, by Massimo Marchesini in 1974. Through mergers and acquisitions with related companies in the sector, over the years Marchesini Group has transformed from a local company into a multinational. Today, it is a key player in the Emilia-Romagna Packaging Valley and among the global leaders in the sector. One of the key strengths of the Group, which employs 3000 people, is the fact that its production is entirely based in Italy, ensuring high product quality and valuing the relationship with the local supply chain. Present in over 116 countries worldwide, it relies on a network of agencies and 16 foreign subsidiaries to more effectively oversee international markets. Indeed, 87% of the Group’s revenue is generated from exports, reaching significant percentages in Europe, China, the USA, and Latin America.
