Bergi marks 60th anniversary at Simac Tanning Tech
This year’s edition of Simac Tanning Tech will mark the 60th anniversary of Bergi, the machinery company founded by Cav. Giovanni Bergozza in the 1960s.
Now run by the third generation of the Bergozza family, the company has maintained a longstanding focus on mechanical engineering for the leather industry.
Bergi’s early developments included the first arm-type padding machine and improvements to buffing and pressing systems. In the 1980s and 1990s, the company expanded into international markets, including Asia, with equipment for ironing and embossing leather.
The 2000s saw the introduction of the Bertech brand and a wider range of machines for leather handling.
At this year’s fair, Bertech will present a new monitoring programme for energy use and maintenance, as part of ongoing efforts to improve automation and process control. A further machine concept is planned for launch in 2026.
