Lanfranchi Group Collecchio – Automation and Bottling Technology
Lanfranchi S.r.l. is an industrial technology company based in Collecchio, near Parma, specializing in the design and manufacture of automated machinery and complete solutions for bottle and container handling.
Founded in the late 1970s, the company has evolved from a local mechanical engineering business into an internationally active group supplying advanced equipment for bottling and packaging lines.
A Company Founded in Collecchio
Lanfranchi was founded in 1978 in Collecchio by Lino Lanfranchi.
The business originally operated in metalworking and the assembly of packaging machinery for third-party manufacturers.
An important turning point came in 1990, when Lanfranchi began designing, manufacturing and marketing its own machines.
The company subsequently developed strong expertise in empty plastic bottle and container handling, gradually expanding its business into international markets.
Bottle and Container Handling Solutions
Lanfranchi specializes in automated systems designed to manage containers efficiently throughout industrial production lines.
Its technologies include solutions for:
-
bottles and containers;
-
automatic container unscrambling;
-
bottle handling;
-
storage and line feeding;
-
caps and cap handling;
-
preforms;
-
industrial automation;
-
robotic systems;
-
complete line integration.
Machines and systems can be developed according to the customer's production requirements and the characteristics of the containers being handled.
Research, Development and Robotics
Innovation and research play an important role in Lanfranchi's industrial strategy.
The company develops advanced automation technologies designed to improve production efficiency and simplify container handling.
In recent years, this expertise has increasingly included robotic solutions, combining mechanical engineering, automation and digital technologies.
The ability to develop customized systems allows Lanfranchi to work with customers from different industrial sectors and respond to increasingly complex packaging requirements.
Spare Parts, Assistance and Upgrades
Lanfranchi also provides services designed to support its machinery throughout its operating life.
These include technical assistance, spare parts and upgrades for existing equipment.
Machine upgrades can improve performance and energy efficiency or adapt existing equipment to new container formats.
Remote assistance is also supported by digital technologies, including Smart Glasses, allowing specialists to provide technical support to customers even when they are located far from the company's Italian headquarters.
From Collecchio to International Markets
International expansion has played an important role in the company's development.
In 2001, Lanfranchi established Lanfranchi Nord Europe in Roubaix, France, and Lanfranchi North America in Tampa, Florida.
Following the death of founder Lino Lanfranchi, Mario and Alessio Lanfranchi took responsibility for the family business in 2011, continuing its technological and international development.
Collecchio remains the headquarters and the heart of the group's engineering and industrial activities.
Lanfranchi and Parma's Industrial District
Lanfranchi represents an important side of the Parma Food Valley that goes beyond food production itself.
Around Parma's internationally renowned food and beverage industry, a highly specialized engineering district has developed, producing machinery, automation systems and packaging technologies for customers around the world.
From its headquarters in Collecchio, Lanfranchi contributes to this industrial tradition by combining mechanical engineering, automation, robotics and international expertise.
