Metalurgica Bonano SA

The Bonano company was started in 1963 by Rodolfo Emilio Bonano, as a repair shop for hydraulic graders and / or motor graders. Later in 1975, and as a result of his death, he was continued by his wife Nelly Cifuentes de Bonano along with his three children (Daniel, Roberto and Marcelo), who at that time were still minors. In 1977 they decided to convert the company into a thermal body factory, mainly as a result of the imposition of new regulations in the port of Mar del Plata, whereby fish could no longer be loaded in bulk but transported in Thermal boxes. Some years later, in 1984, it was decided to form a company, now going on to carry out its activities under the name of Metalúrgica Bonano S.A.

Thus, the company developed and grew under the influence of an evolution based on the constant and permanent incorporation of knowledge applied to transportation.

The result of this is a stage of significant industrial growth in which the company begins to specialize in the manufacture of bodies, trailers and semitrailers for the transport of loads. This stage reaches its most important growth point when the company incorporates the latest technology in the world, consisting of the use of fiberglass to manufacture the panels that make up the units manufactured.

This fact marks a turning point since it meant the expansion in the national market, currently occupying one of the first places in both number of units sold and in billing, and is in turn one of the companies (within its heading ) Of the highest growth in recent years.

From 1999 onwards, to meet the new demand originated in the boom of cellular communications in our country, BONANO annexed to its production the line called "shelter" which are refrigerated cabins that, given their technical characteristics of construction, Allows in its interior the installation of the equipment and the technology used to transmit this type of communications. Such shelters may also be used for other purposes, such as the installation of equipment for digital television transmission, etc.

In 2002 the manufacture of open trailers and semi-trailers was started, that is to say, destined to transport of cereals, cattle, containers, etc., which contributed to that the production had a constant tendency instead of the ups and downs that were given In the part of thermal equipment, obtaining an excellent reception in this segment of the market.

Likewise, in terms of the quality levels achieved, we can mention that the company has been certified for compliance with ISO 9001: 2000 standards since 2001 for the activities of "Design, manufacture and marketing of vans, trailers, semitrailers and Shelters, "having complied in subsequent years with all re-certifications indicated in that standard. In turn, also in 2001, Metalúrgica Bonano S.A. Made all the necessary procedures to obtain the Certificate of Registration in the specific registers for the granting of the License for the Configuration of Model, having obtained this License in the year 2002. Moreover, in 2008 the company has made the Procedures concerning the modification of its Model Configuration License, in order to allow a numbering that enables a production level higher than 1000 units per year.

All of the above has its basis in which units for the transport of dry or refrigerated cargo are manufactured and marketed through the use of the best raw materials, a technologically advanced production process that covers all the main production stages (from the input Basic to finished unit), pre-sales and after-sales service, and unsurpassed sales prices and conditions, making BONANO a leading brand, synonymous with quality and service.

It is worth mentioning that the leadership achieved at the national level, and the projection of the same is attempted in the regional, is based on the implementation of a solid and dynamic commercial structure, encompassing the whole territory through various concessionaires with presence in the different Provinces.

In one case, METALURGICA BONANO S.A., permanently focused on technological innovation, changes in working methods, and the goal of achieving total quality as a rule of conduct.
