department . It is no longer just a matter of improving the machines , but of dedicating resources to the development of new solutions and enhancing existing ones . The philosophy is to acquire new skills to develop innovative products , responding to the market needs , whether they are explicit requests from customers and partners or ideas that emerge from different market sectors . The importance of certifications is another crucial element for Beccaria , not only the usual ones , but also , for example , the A . E . O . certificate developed two years ago , which represents a significant step for the company . „ We are increasingly attentive to customer requests , ranging from food certifications to specific ones . What could once be considered marginal is now essential in all sectors ,“ Pagliero points out . Finally , Beccaria partnered up with a company to develop
the SAP management system , making a significant upgrade . The new system , SAP Hana , is a more advanced version , integrating advanced control and analysis functions throughout the production cycle , from the quotation to the shipment of the machine . This represents an important step towards the complete automation of the company ’ s management procedures .
BESPOKE TECHNOLOGIES Beccaria operates in a „ tailor-made “ manner , focusing on the development of machines meeting the specific needs of the user . Having commercial relationships with the whole world , geographical and cultural specificities are also considered , adapting the products to different contexts and customising each machine according to the customer ‘ s needs . This strategy
is deep-rooted into the company and , over the years , has been further developed , focusing on the research and development of machines that are crucial for the sector and that represent Beccaria ‘ s strength , leaving aside the production of standard machines . But the differentiation is not only technological , but also geographical . Beccaria systems have crossed Italy ’ s national borders and currently , more than 70 % of production is destined for exportation , either sold directly or through partnerships . „ This evolution ,“ says Pagliero , „ represents a significant change for us compared to the past , when we operated mainly in Italy . At that time , we used to adapt our production to the needs of the most profitable markets . Today , diversification means that our primary sector is not a single one , with Europe which ought to be more stable , while the U . S . continues to have a significant impact .”
QUALITY AT EVERY STAGE Beccaria is a quality-oriented manufacturer that tries to push customers towards a , all-round vision of their purchase , including pre-sales services such as preliminary drawings , layouts and specific studies attached to the quotation . In doing so , it aims to offer complete packages rather than single solutions , fostering deeper collaboration with companies to drive excellence in the industry . Dealing with a sector of high technological value is a significant challenge . For this reason , Beccaria manufactures all its machines in-house , paying particular attention to the quality of the materials used , which are purchased from European suppliers , in order to guarantee a high standard in production .
