Since 1916, Forni Industriali Bendotti has represented a symbol of Italian excellence in the world of reheating furnaces for the steel industry. It is a history built on passion, innovation, and quality, nurtured on the shores of Lake Iseo in Costa Volpino (Bergamo), and proudly recognized at an international level.
Today, that invaluable heritage is revitalized: Mebex has acquired Forni Industriali Bendotti with the goal of returning one of the most prominent brands in the steel industry’s reheating furnace sector back to the top.
A New Vision for a Century-Old Tradition
With this operation, Mebex—led by brothers Evaristo and Edoardo Medici, grandsons of the historic founder Evaristo Bendotti—looks to the future to keep the beating heart of Forni Industriali Bendotti alive. The ambition is clear: to preserve the value of a historic name, driving it toward new milestones through technological innovation, energy efficiency, and a commitment to a more sustainable industry.
Tradition, innovation, and sustainability thus intertwine in an ambitious project that combines expertise, vision, and the desire to shape the future.
A Strategic and Targeted Acquisition
The acquisition, conducted as part of the judicial liquidation proceedings of Forni Industriali Bendotti S.p.A. initiated at the Court of Bergamo, includes the Bendotti brand along with all related industrial and intellectual property rights.
This is a strategic and targeted operation that enables Mebex to consolidate its presence in a highly specialized market, enriching itself with a unique heritage of skills, experience, and technologies.
Mebex Looks Ahead with Innovation and Sustainability
Building from this solid foundation, the relaunch of the Forni Industriali Bendotti brand will unfold through an investment plan focused on energy efficiency, advanced materials, and low-environmental-impact technologies. All of this is in perfect harmony with the principles of Industry 5.0 and the demands of a rapidly transforming international market.
Mebex looks to the future with ambition and responsibility, driving innovation in the steel sector and promoting sustainable solutions that combine quality, performance, and environmental respect.
The future of reheating furnaces starts here. And we are ready to forge the change.
