The story

Berco's main factory is in Copparo, Italy, with approximately 1,300 employees. The company also operates four other facilities in Italy, Brazil and the United States.

It was founded in 1918 by Vezio Bertoni, who opened a bicycle repair shop, continuing his father's work. He soon began repairing agricultural machinery and vehicles abandoned by the US Army in the countryside of Ferrara. The small business grew into a workshop of 30 employees and began producing machine tools and spare parts for tractors. When the entrepreneur Roberto Cotti joined Bertoni, the company became "Bertoni & Cotti", the origin of the name Berco.
