Alberto Bianchi

President of Bianchi Group

Our company was established in 1921 by my grandfather Emilio, in the province of Varese.

Since then we have grown alongside the businesses of our customers and suppliers, not only by making their high-tech products available, but also by supporting them in selecting the best and most reliable option for a specific application in terms of precision and lifetime, and in choosing the most beneficial solutions with regard to performance and sustainability.

Today, as in the past, we are not just a logistics centre par excellence for our customers, we are also a strategic partner in tune with the components and solutions provided.

And this is through a century of work…

that’s one hundred years, just to be precise.
