ONCE PRODUCING 13 MACHINES PER YEAR, BIESSE NOW PRODUCES 2,000 MACHINES YEARLY

Can you please provide an overview of Biesse India's journey and its establishment in the Indian market? How has the company grown and evolved since its inception?

Biesse India, founded in 2007 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Biesse SpA, headquartered in Pesaro, Italy, has played a significant role in the journey of its parent company, Biesse. Biesse is a renowned global leader in manufacturing Machines and Systems for processing a diverse range of materials, including wood, glass, stone, metals, plastics, and composite materials. It has been listed on the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange since 2001.

Biesse India's story began in Bangalore, where it emerged as the first overseas manufacturing facility for Biesse, specialising in medium-range woodworking machines. This move was motivated by the potential for growth in India's woodworking industry, which, at the time, was in its early stages but showed promising prospects.

From its very beginning, Biesse India has been at the forefront of product development, which has equipped the company with a technological advantage, enabling it to remain competitive in the market. Biesse India's expansion strategy involved reaching a wider global audience to meet the increasing demand for its products. To achieve this, the company needed to scale up production, diversify its machine range, maintain high-quality standards, and ensure competitive pricing.

What are the core products and services offered by Biesse India? How do these offerings cater to the needs of the Indian market and industry?

We offer advanced woodworking machines like CNC machines, edge banders, and panel saws. Alongside, we cater to software solutions that boost automation and output. This is in line with India's digital trend in the manufacturing sector.
