Who are Bravo?

Bravo was founded in Montecchio Maggiore (Italy) in 1967, by Genesio Bravo, as an industrial machine manufacturing company which produced machines for gelato shops. The company initially focused its production on traditional pasteurizers and batch freezers, until 1974 when Genesio Bravo conceived the idea, built, and PATENTED the first multi-purpose pastry / gelato machine all-in-one for pastry professionals. Today, Bravo stands as a top-tier provider of professional equipment for crafting premium artisan gelato, pastries and chocolates.

Who are PIETRO BERTO?

Established in the province of Vicenza - Italy in 1909, PIETROBERTO are manufacturers that design, engineer and build their machines in their own factory. 

Using only the finest components, all machines are designed and built by PIETROBERTO's team of skilled staff, drawing on over 110 years of expertise in the manufacture of bakery, pastry and confectionary machinery. 

Who are Bernardi?

For 40 years BERNARDI has specialized in the production of counter-top double arm kneading machines, the best mixer technology for producing yeast dough (bread, pizza, focaccia, flaky pastry, and panettone). 

The birth of the company was determined by the need of the founder, Elvio Bernardi, to equip himself with a mixer capable of working doughs for home baking. It was the early 80’s and there were only small spiral and planetary mixers available on the market. However, his experience of working, while a young man, in a pastry/confectionary company suggested that for a good leavened dough, there was no better machine than a diving-arm kneading mixer, which unfortunately was only available in large semi-industrial sizes. Elvio's search for perfection therefore pushed him to create such a machine for himself. Elvio PATENTED the World's 1st compact kneading diving-arm system and the World's 1st  counter-top diving-arm kneading machine, which he soon replicated and turned into a profession.
