Pegaso Industries expands its Borgoricco industrial complex

The Italian group Pegaso Industries, one of the leading international manufacturers of systems for plastics treatment and processing, has launched a major expansion project for its industrial complex in Borgoricco (Padua, Italy), the strategic heart of its production activities. With consolidated turnover exceeding 100 million euros, six extra-European subsidiaries and over 650 employees worldwide, Pegaso Industries is today amongst Italy's most dynamic companies in the sector, protagonist of a development path that in recent years has recorded constant growth in orders and progressive expansion into international markets.

The strengthening of the industrial structure became necessary due to Pegaso Industries' sustained and measurable structural growth. In the last financial year, PET Solutions and Blawer, two of the group's companies, together with Plastic Systems, Ergomec and Steel System, recorded sales increases of 25% and 20% respectively, figures confirming a solid and continuous expansion trend. It is precisely this dynamic, fuelled by constantly increasing demand and increasingly complex orders, that justifies the expansion of production and logistics spaces at the Paduan complex. Consistently with this trend, in 2025 the Pegaso Industries group increased its workforce by 13% and forecasts a further 20% increase for 2026, consolidating planned growth that simultaneously involves production capacity, organisation and industrial structure.

Within this framework, the property and industrial operation materialised with the acquisition of a warehouse neighbouring the existing headquarters, which will be physically and functionally integrated with current facilities, creating an even more organic and interconnected production complex. In parallel, new adjacent land will be designated for logistics management of finished machinery, with an area completely dedicated to loading and shipping to end customers. The forecourt in front of PET Solutions will be reorganised to accommodate a structured zone for handling finished products, with spaces designed to optimise lorry flow and reduce waiting times. A choice that concerns not only surface extension, but directly impacts the overall efficiency of the supply chain. The new building will house highly specialised technological departments: laser processing, saws, lathes, bending machines, welding, cutting machines, calendering, polishing and shot peening of finished products. A complete industrial setup, capable of integrating production phases even more vertically, with the introduction of new machinery and advanced solutions. It is here that Steel Systems' strengthening will take shape, with a dedicated and further enhanced structure.

The project will also involve strategic redefinition of existing internal spaces, with functional reorganisation between the group's various companies designed to support a new phase of production expansion. In this scenario, PET Solutions will see its operational capacity doubled, with structural enhancement enabling management of increasingly high volumes, more complex orders and even more competitive timescales. The expansion represents a key step for the company, which will be able to rely on significantly extended production spaces, more efficient flows and a structure sized to accompany growth in coming years. In parallel, Blawer will also benefit from decisive strengthening of its production capacity. Increased space and optimisation of internal organisation will enable support for the constant increase in orders recorded in recent financial years, consolidating the company's role within the group and strengthening its competitiveness in international markets. This is not simply a metric expansion, but a dimensional leap enabling greater operational autonomy, better industrial planning and even faster response capability to customer requirements.

With this operation, the Borgoricco complex will exceed 100,000 square metres total surface area between production and logistics areas, consolidating its dimension as the group's reference industrial hub. The objective is not simply to produce more, but to produce better: reduce lead times, increase flexibility, optimise internal flows and offer customers an even higher level of service. In an increasingly dynamic market, speed of response represents a determining competitive factor, and Pegaso Industries has chosen to invest to anticipate future requirements. The expansion of the Paduan site is the natural consequence of sustained and constant growth, which has seen the group strengthen its international presence and consolidate its role as technological partner for the main operators in the global plastics sector. This is not only physical expansion, but a strategic step that redesigns the production setup, strengthens integration between the group's various entities and lays foundations for a new phase of industrial development.
