The Bottero Group continues its path of growth and innovation, and will take center stage at Vitrum 2025 with major new developments for the glass industry.
Throughout the event, visitors will have the exclusive opportunity to attend live demo sessions and technical workshops at the company’ s headquarters in Cuneo, accessible via a dedicated shuttle bus, with a special focus on flat glass and ceramics processing.
Technology, sustainability, and automation: Bottero’ s strategic roadmap
Bottero is proud to unveil the latest technological solutions in the fields of flat glass and hollow glass, offering a preview of its development roadmap and the key strategic projects currently underway. The company’ s growth strategy is built on two key pillars:
• Sustainability: Respect for resources, a people-centered approach, environmental protection, and strong stakeholder engagement are at the core of Bottero’ s values. This commitment has recently been recognized through the achievement of ISO 26000 certification.
• Automation: Significant investments in R & D aim to revolutionize glass processing through cuttingedge technologies, system integration, data analytics, and artificial intelligence.
A prime example is GlassForm. AI, a joint venture between Bottero and Tiama, focused entirely on developing AI-based solutions for the glass industry. With a team of more than 30 dedicated engineers, GlassForm.
AI develops systems that optimize forming processes, enhance energy efficiency, reduce manual intervention, and preserve critical industrial know-how.
From stand-alone machines to smart factories
Bottero is leading the transformation of the glass industry towards fully automated and scalable production models, in line with the principles of Industry 5.0. From individual machines to the complete automation of entire factories, the company delivers flexible and modular solutions tailored to every production need. One tangible example is the collaboration with 3Sun, a company of the Enel Green Power Group, which selected Bottero technologies for its new 3 GW Gigafactory in Catania, dedicated to the production of solar panels. A flagship project showcasing the synergy between advanced automation and renewable energy.
New acquisitions, new opportunities
As part of its expansion strategy, Bottero recently acquired – through its subsidiary E2Pack – a business unit from the EMS Group in Montecchio Emilia, specializing in end-of-line and packaging systems. This acquisition extends Bottero’ s offering to include packaging solutions for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and hollow glass sectors, reinforcing its position as a global supplier of complete systems.
