Our Philosophy: Energy & Ecology at Man's Service
Energy & Ecology at Man's Service Ecology ensures a better standard of life. Energy, as all other resources, is limited and expensive. Right from its birth in 1958, Bono Group has committed itself to pursue the environment protection by using traditional energetic sources in the most careful way and exploiting the alternative ones.
BONO considers Energetic and Ecological fields connected in one unique system: Energy can be considered as an ecological instrument and Ecology as a saving of energetic, environmental and human resources.
As a consequence BONO is currently committed to make economy and high efficiency of energy systems fully compatible with a “sustainable development” of industrial activities with regard to environmental issues.
History
BONO was born during the stimulating season of the Italian economic development that followed World War II. A favourable social and economic situation brought to an extraordinary expansion which was called "Economic Miracle". Wonderful as it was, such development was mined by distortions, inequalities, social and economic disequilibriums. In this Italy - densely populated, lacking energy sources, poor in other natural resources, whose system had been violently accelerated by the industrial push - the challenge of the new "post-industrial" era was strongly felt. The company was established in 1958 with the aim to provide a full service in the Energy and Ecology fields. The first workshop was built in 1961. The main factory in Peschiera Borromeo was started in 1965 and completed in 1973. In the same year the factory of Netro, near Biella in Piedmont, was acquired and started an activity in the area of Environment and Ecology technologies. In the early 1970's the Group strengthened BONO's presence in Southern Italy collaborating with ARTES Ingegneria, an engineering company based in Napoli. In 1988 BONO joined the Cannon Group who, already well established as an international leader
in plastics technologies, was putting into practice a strategic diversification in areas with potential synergetic opportunities for their current activities. Since 1991 BONO is organized with three individual companies: BONO Energia, dedicated to Industrial Thermal Units, BONO Sistemi, specialized in Integrated Systems for Energy and Ecology, BONO Netro, manufacturing facility for Flash Steam Generators and medium size Thermal Oil Heaters. Artes Ingegneria was definitively incorporated in 1997 as the BONO company responsible for all activities related to water treatment.
Facts and Figures
The BONO Group is one of the engineering and manufacturing centres of Cannon, a multinational Group specialising in industrial technologies. Cannon employs today 1000 people, it is present in more than 40 countries and generated in 2009 a turnover for 185 Million Euro.
Three BONO companies work in strict co-operation to achieve the maximum synergy in the various fields of activity:
- BONO Energia SpA produces all thermal plants
- ARTES Ingegneria SpA produces all the water treatment plants and technologies.
- BONO Sistemi SpA supplies equipment for Ecology and Environmental treatments
They generated in 2009 a turnover of 67 Million Euro: 62% in the Energy compartment and 38% in Environmental and water activities. Export activities account for 40% of the total turnover. A staff of 240 dedicated specialists is employed in Italy, and a network of agents represents the different activities in more than 25 countries.
