CDS establishes the MEDICAM brand to provide specific solutions for clean room assembly and testing applications.
The CDS brand is created to provide stronger support for international markets. The CDS brand is devoted to mechanical actuators and production of precision cam systems.
The Company obtains ISO 9001 Certification no. 1022/4 dated July 20th, 1998. It confirms the ability of Bettinelli to be a leading international supplier for automation solutions.
The introduction of the TL Series Precision Link Conveyor is the result of continuous research of new products needed to satisfy customer requirements. The Precision Link Conveyor was developed and built completely within the company and is now the market leader for machine platforms that demand accurate, fast and reliable linear transfer systems.
To continue to support the rapid growth of the previous two decades, the company relocated to Bagnolo Cremasco, into an historical production complex named De Magistris. The complex (2200 m² - 236,000 ft²) was built in 1923 and is an important representation of Italy’s manufacturing history. After a considerable restoration and modernization project that retained the historical value of the original site, it is a beautiful example of industrial archeology and the current corporate headquarters of all Bettinelli brand products.
After the founder, Constantino passed away, his son, Vincenzo took control of the company. In 1982 the second son, Ferdinando Bettinelli, also joined the company. They introduced new visions and innovation to improve growth and continue leading the company to new developments with the latest innovative technologies.
During the 1970s, Bettinelli begins activities that will project the company into a continuous growth pattern in international markets: Special Purpose Machines (SPM) for component assembly and production of cam positioners and indexers.
During this period, Bettinelli grows by diversifying: production of gas burners for industrial ovens and domestic stoves, production of stators for electric motors and continuing with the production of metallic components.
Our story starts in Crema, Italy in 1953 when founder Constantino Bettinelli started the company Bettinelli Officine Meccaniche (Bettinelli Mechanical Office), which specialized in production of metallic components.
