Bandera started the operations in 1947 founded by Luigi Bandera.

Bandera supplies complete extrusion lines for blown film (packaging & converting sector), flat die foil & sheet (rigid thermoformed packages) and recycling technologies. It’s a worldwide leader in PET rigid film dryless extrusion technology & in agri-geo blown film technology.

The R&D centre, The House of Extrusion® , is a 6000 m2 area and test-running activities on complete production lines with customized engineering services and an after-sales global network. THOE was recently upscaled with a dedicated facility for a new wet trials area including a 2-hall brand new building with 35 mt height.

Increase efficiency to obtain best sustainability: Bandera’s technological strategy aims at maximising the efficiency of the recycling processes concerning extrusion and pelletizing including pre and post-treatment of the flake with the option to incorporate additives or fillers.

The capability of upgrading material characteristics to a comparable virgin material level (food-grade, flavour/odour control, mechanical properties, etc.) is one of the priorities towards circular economy needs.
