THE INTERVIEW

Elena Bottoli

Elena Bottoli

Owner

How did 2025 go, and what achievements did you celebrate at year-end?

2025 was a very rewarding year in terms of innovation. The most significant event was the launch of the FUTURA LINE, our new range of slitter-rewinders: a milestone that represents the culmination of 50 years of experience and constant drive toward improvement. The range stands out for a design that combines structural strength and advanced interactivity, creating an intuitive, ergonomic, and efficient work environment. At the same time, we developed the B-KNIFE in-house, a fully mechanical cutting system unmatched on the market. It offers concrete production benefits: handling of a wider range of materials, intuitive depth adjustment and cutting angle, automatic blade positioning, and quick switching between shear or razor cutting (in air or in groove).

Which of your technologies are most appreciated by the market?

The market particularly recognizes our ability to offer the right solution for every need: from dual-shaft slitters – essential and efficient – to the new Futura line, all the way to primary and narrow-web slitters. Added to this is the ability to go well beyond the standard, with systems for applications outside of flexible packaging, solutions for widths exceeding 1800 mm, and systems for winding large-diameter reels. Equally important is operational flexibility: our machines handle job changes quickly and adapt to materials with widely varying thicknesses, rigidity, and winding behaviors. A concrete advantage for those working with flexible and diversified production.

Which projects did you launch in 2026, and what new developments can you share?

2026 is a special year for us: we are celebrating our 50th anniversary, a significant milestone that drives us to look ahead with even greater determination, and which we will celebrate on September 24 by opening our company’s doors to the public. Among the developments we are presenting this year is our new ESSENTIA line, which includes the STB 550, STB 560 and TBS models, confirming the direction we have taken with the Futura line and our constant focus on market evolution and its demands.
