Minerali Industriali group completes acquisition of Manfredini & Schianchi

On lease since July 2021, the Sassuolo-based company has now been fully incorporated into Green Tech Engineering, part of the Minerali Industriali group, thereby consolidating its offering in the field of raw material processing equipment.

On 14 February, Green Tech Engineering (GTE), a subsidiary of Minerali Industriali Engineering (part of the Minerali Industriali Group of Novara), completed the acquisition of Manfredini & Schianchi and Manfredini & Schianchi Green Tech, companies that had been leased since July 2021.

The operation will enable GTE, which specialises in the design of industrial plants for the processing of hard raw materials, to extend its range of operations to include plants for the treatment of soft raw materials (clays, kaolin, limestone, salt) and for the dry grinding of ceramic bodies.

Founded in 1962 in Sassuolo, Manfredini & Schianchi has developed cutting-edge technologies for raw materials processing and has become a market leader in the field of dry treatment, a more environmentally-friendly process that reduces energy consumption and operating costs. The company has recently patented the Fusion process, a major technological breakthrough that has been further enhanced by the synergies created within Green Tech Engineering.

“A new and exciting challenge begins today,” said Minerali Industriali CEO Sabrina Bozzola. “The partnership with Manfredini & Schianchi which began about seven months ago has already allowed us to expand our market vision and conduct operations in Italy and in important foreign markets in sectors outside Minerali Industriali Engineering’s target market.”

The Novara-based group’s management sees the acquisition of Manfredini & Schianchi as a strategic opportunity to expand its business and offer customers a broad portfolio of products and production processes optimised for the treatment of both hard and soft raw materials.
