Economy

Historically, one of the town’s industrial icons was Perlini, a company founded in 1957, producing large off-road dump trucks used in mining and heavy construction worldwide. Although the original company went through financial difficulties and was later restructured, its legacy remains an important part of San Bonifacio’s economic history. Among the most prominent realities is Ferroli, a historic company founded in 1955, which manufactures heating systems. With a significant international presence, Ferroli has long been one of the industrial cornerstones of the town. Another key player is Pedrollo, a manufacturer of electric water pumps, which has contributed to San Bonifacio’s reputation for precision engineering and exports its products to more than 160 countries. Also present is Alfa Laval, which recently opened a facility in the town dedicated to the production of brazed plate heat exchangers. Pakelo Motor Oil produces lubricants used in various sectors including automotive, agriculture, and food processing.
