1919
A story that continues
Berardi Bullonerie is a company distributing screws and bolts that has reached the fourth generation of the family and has always stood out for the high quality of the service offered to its customers. The business began in 1919 with a small shop in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna. In 1960 the shop became a distribution company and moved its business to a large equipped warehouse. 1984, with the transfer of the business to a 4,500 square meter warehouse with approximately 15 thousand items in stock, is the year that marks the entry of Berardi Bullonerie into the ranks of the large Italian companies distributing screws and bolts. In January 2003 the company moved to its current headquarters in Castel Guelfo (BO) organizing a semi-automated warehouse of 10,000 square meters, 50,000 items in stock (130,000 in the database) and over 1,000,000 lines shipped every year
A modern distribution center
Berardi Bullonerie is one of the first companies in the sector to have obtained ISO 9002 Certification, in 1995. Over the years, the company has then adapted its Quality system according to the new editions of the reference regulation. Thanks to the vastness of the range, the punctuality and timeliness in responding to customer needs, Berardi Bullonerie distributes its products to a clientele located both nationally and internationally and belonging to different product sectors. The guiding criterion of the activity is to achieve the maximum level of efficiency to ensure the customer a rapid and functional service for the supply of small metal parts. The modern organization of the warehouse, the dedicated software based on radio frequency systems, the transport network and a team of people dedicated to customer care, make Berardi Bullonerie a reliable and valuable partner.
