The need for an even larger home in just eight years has been driven by demand for valves, actuators, and automated valve packages. Sophisticated valve and actuator testing capabilities are planned for the new headquarters to support the growing North American market. 

The Bonomi Group has also been acquiring additional companies to complement and expand its product offering, adding to the need for more U.S. warehouse space:

• Ghibson Italia s.r.l., based in Zola Predosa (Bologna, Italy), is a company specialized in the production of butterfly and check valves, for various industrial applications.
• Ghibson & Co., based in Nova Milanese (Milan, Italy), is a company supporting Ghibson Italia’s range with the following products for a wide range of applications: damper valves, knife gate valves, ball valves, customized valves, and actuators.
• Penta s.r.l., based in Mazzano (Brescia, Italy), is specialized in the production of metal seated ball valves for critical operating conditions, such as temperatures (up to +1,292° F), cryogenic services (down to -328° F), abrasive services, hazardous services, and engineering for special services.
• AVS AB – Automatik Ventiler System, based in Malmö (Svezia, Sweden), is a supplier to industrial plants.
  
  

The decision to stay in Charlotte was an easy one, according to Alberto Malaguti, general manager of Bonomi North America.

“Charlotte is the ideal location for us. It offers easy national and international transportation and the world-class setting a leader like Bonomi needs for continued growth. We build long-term relationships with our customers. Our new, larger headquarters here will enable us to meet our current and new customers’ needs, now and into the future,” Malaguti said.
