Pelliconi

Pelliconi is the world's leading manufacturer of crown corks, metal and plastic caps for the bottling industry. Its global network of sales and distribution counts on four foreign subsidiaries, which have allowed the group to establish itself as the world’s largest producer and exporter of crown corks. Thanks to an uninterrupted investment program made possible by the continuing faith of its customers, Pelliconi has grown steadily throughout the past ten years in a substantially static market. This has enabled the company to employ around 500 employees and to establish an annual production capacity of over 30 billion metal and plastic bottle caps. Four production plants are serving customers worldwide: Ozzano dell’Emilia – Headquarter- close to Bologna (Italy), Atessa, in the province of Chieti (Italy), Cairo (Egypt), and Orlando, Florida, (USA). To ensure the best products for clients and consumers, all the production plants have progressively adhered to ever-more demanding international standards in terms of quality, food safety, environment and compliance with norms applicable to products for food storage. The research and development applied to the production processes has an important role in this sector: for this reason Pelliconi invests a lot of resources to improve energy efficiency in the production processes and to minimize emissions into the atmosphere. With respect to the past, the production plants are more spacious and efficient and the continuous improvement of these processes has been pursued thanks both to people's ideas and to specific investments in new technologies. Besides scientific research, Pelliconi supports social, cultural and artistic projects and activities which constitute fundamental society values and contribute to improving the quality of life of the local communities. Pelliconi supports also various local sports associations with the goal of giving back value to the region in terms of community well-being.
