HISTORY
HISTORY
BSP Engineering was established in 1997, building on more than twenty years of experience developed by entrepreneur Franco Montorfano in industrial storage and bulk material handling.
This experience began with R.B.S. International, which acquired the rights to the Lipp system and the machinery required to manufacture spiral silos. The company supplied storage solutions to agricultural cooperatives, mills, feed manufacturers and other agri-food businesses.
In 1980, R.B.S. International expanded its capabilities by acquiring French Parcy know-how for planetary extraction systems designed to discharge difficult-flowing materials from flat-bottom silos.
The combination of spiral silo construction and planetary extraction technology provided the foundation for further development in Italy and international markets. The product range subsequently expanded to include bucket elevators, chain conveyors, belt conveyors, screw conveyors and filtration systems, enabling the supply of complete storage and handling plants.
Building on this technical heritage, BSP Engineering broadened its activities beyond the agri-food sector to serve increasingly demanding industrial applications. Today, its solutions cover storage, extraction and handling requirements across the food, cement, minerals, steel, biomass, sludge, alternative fuels and chemical industries.
