BOTECO TODAY

Founded in the early 1970s under the name of Botecoplast, the company began producing a small range of knobs and handwheels, and moulding a series of special design details, only with thermosetting material (Bakelite, tessilite, etc.), the only available at the time.
In a short time Botecoplast developed an innovative technology for the production of special parts used for the construction of portable welding machines.
A sector in which it had so much success that it reached almost 90% of the welding machine
manufacturers, thus putting the production of handles in the background.
The situation remained so for several years, until in the early 80s it was decided to resume the development of industrial handles, which were already gathered in a small catalog.
This decision was also aided by the introduction on the market of new plastic materials such as reinforced technopolymers (1983), which enabled the company to study new designs and create new product lines.
This decision was also aided by the introduction on the market of new plastic materials such as reinforced technopolymers (1983), which enabled the company to study new designs and create new product lines.
The first item produced with these materials was the G730 series of 4-lobe lightweight handwheels.
The innovative design and competitive prices determined the success of this line, stimulating the company to start a production conversion process, purchasing new machinery and producing new moulds.
The early 90s saw the introduction of the first CNC machines for moulds and moulding. In 1992 we began designing products using CAD systems and in 1997 with 3D systems. In the workshop the 2D/3D CAM system helped realise the new ergonomic lines designed by the engineering department.
After 1990, from a commercial point of view, the distributor network also developed which led to worldwide appreciation of Botecoplast and its products.
In 1999 Botecoplast produced a wide range of handgrips becoming independent of the welding market.
To crown the new road taken, the company decided to change its image: it took away that "PLAST" from the name, which identified it too much as a technical plastic moulding contractor, and adopted a new logo that could better identify the new range of handles.
Botecoplast became Boteco.
