5 01 THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO INVENT IT Costruzioni Meccaniche Luigi Bandera is a global leader in designing and manufacturing extrusion lines for several applications including: blown film lines, foil and sheet lines, as well as complete rigid and soft PVC pelletizing machines and extruders for steel pipe coating. Mission Costruzioni Meccaniche Luigi Bandera mission is: to affirm itself as an international extrusion process excellence centre which combines designing, engineering, manufacturing and service; to supply technologically advanced solutions to the plastic industry; to provide exceptional value to the customer with safe, efficient and low power consumption lines thus favouring recycled and biodegradable material processing; to achieve customer satisfaction by understanding the customer s needs and exceeding the customer s expectations; to deliver reliable machines and to provide the highest quality service; to continuously improve the capabilities of the employees and treat them as valued contributors to the success of the Company. History Bandera was established in 1947 by Luigi Bandera and soon proved to be a strong expanding company, thus contributing to the actual development of plastics processing industry in Europe. In 1960s 1970s, Bandera activities underwent remarkable expansion to reach an industrial scale production, offering a wide and diversified range of extrusion products, such as pipe extrusion lines, profile extrusion equipment, sheet extrusion lines. In 1980s 1990s the company was acknowledged as one of the leaders in blown film extrusion and sheet extrusion in Europe and worldwide. Bandera, currently managed by Piero and Franco, the founder s sons, has recently focussed its product range on the main application of packaging and converting, developing detailed worldwide sales and service operations and enlarging again the production facility to satisfy the customer need to test complete plants.

7 02 THINK GLOBAL, DO LOCAL Bandera s goal is to have a global vision while acting locally. Besides being international, the company is also local considering that its roots are based in the handicraft tradition that allowed made in Italy to become important all over the world. It is global, because it is able to act on the world stage with a single strategy based on the concept of the customer focus. Such a focus is reflected in the flexibility of a highly specialized structure capable of operating simultaneously on different projects at a local and global level. It is reflected in the project management methods aimed at supporting the customer during all the project phases, from engineering to installation, up to the after-sale and support services. It is reflected in the absolute control on all kinds of processing phases, which are performed by internal departments in order to ensure the highest quality and the respect of the delivery terms. Service centres Sales network The 4 Bandera service centres, located in Italy, Belgium, China and Brazil, take care, respectively, of customers from South Europe, Africa and Middle East, North Europe, Asia and North and South America. A capillary sales network of agents acts actively to be quick and to satisfy the demands of all Bandera s clients.

11 03 INNOVATION AS A LIFESTYLE FOR BANDERA PEOPLE Bandera engineering is a well-structured process used to deliver both short-term innovation initiatives as well as medium and long term projects. Being a technology company, Bandera is used to continuously growing and reshaping its technology base to provide its customers with a stream of new machineries, exploiting improved or new properties. A close contact with the market provides R&D with several market-pull innovation proposals. Bandera establishes a very close relationship with customers, partners and suppliers pursuing a co-development as well as a co-design approach. Collaborative model Exploration activities A collaborative, open innovation model is often adopted by Bandera to rapidly implement the best business model, looking for value creation and value sharing among partners. Cooperation agreements and open collaborative projects are aimed at exploiting specific strategic resources in the short term or for exploration activities to develop know-how in the field of packaging and converting, so to pave the way of future extrusion. Technology is a mindset deeply embedded into the Bandera people, is a fluently spoken language to speak with customers, with partners and with suppliers. Bandera extrusion is a living ecosystem, growing, changing, and breathing, tightly interconnected with the world of plastics. Bandera incessantly fuels the components of its technology portfolio that include competence, tools and methods to model, design and optimize machineries, engineer and rapidly turn a proof-of-concept into manufacturing of a plant.
