To meet sustainability standards, Berco declared that they are aiming to reduce the environmental impact of its production. Required renovations will be carried out over a three-year roadmap to reduce emissions by 2,500 tons per year as well as the annual consumption of gas by 13%. Various activities in the field of energy efficiency are estimated to lead to an annual reduction of about three million kW/h of electricity once the project is completed.History
Berco's main factory is located in Copparo, Italy, with approximately 1300 employees. In addition, the company operates four other facilities located in Italy, Brazil and the US. It was founded in 1918 by Vezio Bertoni when he opened up a bicycle repair shop, continuing his father's work. Soon he also began to repair agricultural machinery and vehicles abandoned by the US Army in the countryside of Ferrara. Shortly the small business turned into a workshop of 30 employees and began to produce machine tools and spare parts for tractors. When the entrepreneur Roberto Cotti joined Vezio Bertoni, the company became “Bertoni & Cotti” – it was the birth of Berco.See also
