- Our story
At Bentivogli, we believe that exceptional work is fundamentally rooted in absolute respect for our clients and their specific needs. From the very beginning, we have dedicated ourselves to satisfying our clients through the quality and value of our products. The key to establishing a lasting relationship lies in earning people’s trust every single day, aware that this bond is built gradually over time.
In the company’s 40-year history, our commitment to achieving complete customer satisfaction has been the foundation of our growth and success. Over the years, we have faced numerous challenges and evolved together, solidifying our presence in the rubber goods sector. Today, at Bentivogli, we continue to uphold the same family values that have guided us from the very beginning, offering quality solutions for every type of industrial sector.

Our story
We were founded in 1985 in Canaletti di Budrio. This story revolves around four brothers: Piero, Paolo, Emilio, and Iside Bentivogli. The vision was clear from the beginning: to combine our skills and create a company that could one day become a leader in the rubber industry. The early days were challenging, as we found ourselves in a new and inspiring world, and we had to work to understand the industry, focusing on chemistry and rubber processing. But they were also the best years, a time when there was nothing to lose and everything to build.
In 1994, the untimely death of Piero confronted us with a drastic choice: to either move forward or to close everything down. The decision was not an easy one to make, but we had a promise to uphold—a commitment to Piero and to all that we had shared and built together. And so, we persevered. Undoubtedly, the challenge was tougher than we had anticipated, as Piero had been the heart of Bentivogli, driving the entire production. However, we united as a family around a common goal: to keep his values and ideas alive. Today, looking at our results, it appears we have not only reached this milestone but exceeded it.
In 2003, we reached ten employees and relocated from Canaletti to Bologna, to our current location at Via Enrico Mattei 84/12A-84/15-84/15A. Since then, our growth has been continuous. This move marked a turning point in our history, opening up new opportunities and spaces for us.
To affirm this growth, in 2005 we were honored to receive the prestigious “Best Performing Companies” award of the year. This accolade marked a significant milestone in our journey, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to providing our customers with state-of-the-art products in the rubber industry.
Finally, in April 2019, after expanding to more than thirty employees and accumulating over 30 years of experience with significant clients, including leading companies in the automotive and motorcycling sectors in Emilia-Romagna and throughout Italy, as well as establishing direct business relationships in Europe, Asia, and America, we completed our evolutionary process with the transformation into a Srl (in italian "Società a responsabilità limitata"). Thus, Bentivogli S.n.c. became Bentivogli S.r.l.
Forty years of history is a long time: too long for some, yet too short for others. We take pride in everything we have accomplished and are committed to continually improving. What will the next chapter of our story hold?
