At a ceremony attended by customers, partners and members of its international team, Bandera has inaugurated its new US headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event marks a decisive step for the Italian company, which has long regarded the North American market as one of its most strategic areas for growth and has now adopted a more structured vision with the aim of being closer to and more responsive to the needs of American plastics processors. The opening of the US headquarters represents the natural evolution of a journey that began in 2020, when Bandera started operations in the United States, achieving increasingly impressive results year after year despite the current complexities at a global level. The decision to establish a stable organisation in the region stems from the desire to offer direct coverage, faster service and more effective support on a market where Bandera systems have been particularly appreciated. |

A GROWING AND INCREASINGLY INDEPENDENT LOCAL TEAM During the inauguration ceremony, the company’ s management emphasised the fundamental contribution of the American team, who launched and consolidated the US subsidiary with the support of the parent company. In time, the team has expanded, including service engineers, field technicians, product specialists and executive figures who form an operational core that works daily alongside US customers. Strengthening the local team is considered a cornerstone of the project. The new organisation will allow for greater operational autonomy, improved coordination of activities and quick response times— all elements that are increasingly important in a market that requires continuity, re- |
sponsiveness and advanced technical expertise.
CHARLOTTE AS A HUB FOR THE AMERICAS The message that emerged during the event was the clear desire to transform the Charlotte headquarters into a hub for the whole Americas region. The facility is designed to coordinate services, technical support, spare parts availability and operational activities not only in the United States, but also in Central and South America. This vision further enhances the US subsidiary’ s role in Bandera’ s international strategy: not just a commercial and technical outpost, but a true operative centre capable of supporting the needs of a vast and constantly developing continent.

CONTINUED INVESTMENTS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS During the presentations, the management recalled the path undertaken until today: years of commitment, complex operational situations, but also steady growth that has confirmed the solidity of strategic decisions. This path has taken the company to plan further investments in the coming years through activities aimed at expanding capabilities, strengthening services and developing new solutions for even more effective management of its operations in the Americas. The 2026 – 2027 corporate plan includes initiatives geared to improving service quality, increasing technical presence on field and expanding the ability to support customers throughout all operating phases, from commissioning |
to advanced maintenance.
A NEW MILESTONE IN BANDERA’ S HI- STORY The inauguration of the Charlotte headquarters represents a significant milestone but, above all, the beginning of a new era. Thanks to a dedicated organisation, an increasingly qualified team and a clear strategy for the entire American region, Bandera consolidates its role as a global player in extrusion technology. With this project in mind, the company confirms its international vocation and its determination to invest where the market shows dynamism, interest and growth prospects: a commitment that, today, finds its focal point in Charlotte.
