The Flat Glass Division began 40 years ago when Bottero was founded to engineer and produce glassworking machinery for the construction and furniture industries.  

Through research and development this Division has been involved in all phases of the flat glass industry. From the first tilting tables to the vertical machines (Pittsburgh and Fourcault types of the '60's), through the automatic lines of the '70's, to the CNCs for cutting of the '80's and the modular series of the '90's.This is the result of continuous efforts by Bottero's engineers to find quality and economical solutions for customers. This explains the formidable number of trade marks and patents that Bottero has registered worldwide.  

The division's products include the well known tilting tables as well as full automatic lines (off line) for loading, cutting, breaking and manipulating laminated, float and automative glass. Today many different industrial sectors benefit  from the Flat Glass Division's products.

The Flat Glass Division employs a total of 250 people between the Cuneo and Trana plants. The former engineers produces equipment to manipulate, cut and break glass. The latter produces machines for edging and bevelling. 

Production 70% standardized and some employees in the engineering and marketing departments work directly with clients when required, to realize customized machinary and big equipment for full production lines.

The combination of standardized and customized products makes Bottero one of the leading companies in the flat glass industry - surely this success is partly due to its turnkey equipment.
