History

In 1951, three brothers began renovating existing amusement rides: Luigi, Ferruccio and Marcello Bertazzon. Bertazzon 3B was founded in 1963 when the company began manufacturing their own rides. The company later spawned a division based in the United States, Bertazzon America. As of 2009, the company is run by the founders' descendants Michele, Alex and Patrizia Bertazzon. As of 2012, Bertazzon employs approximately 60 people, and manages a manufacturing facility in Italy.
