history of the company
BCS was founded in 1943 by the brilliant engineer and visionary Luigi Castoldi. It all started with a small enterprise in Abiategrasso, a town not far from Milan. Luigi noticed that agriculture is widespread there, but the farmers have to do all the work by hand. He decided that the automation of work would not only make life easier for farmers, but also significantly increase the results of their work. Thus, the first BCS project was created - a self-propelled mower equipped with an internal combustion engine with low energy consumption - model "243". She became a real breakthrough in agriculture of that time.
In his project, Luigi involved the city tax manager Camillo Bonetti and the mechanic Severino Speroni. From their three surnames came the abbreviation in the company name: BCS. In the first ten years they sold three thousand of their cars, and over the next ten years this number grew to one hundred thousand. Then, in 1963, they created the second breakthrough in the life of farmers - a motor-driven welding machine. And already in the sixty-eighth they improved it, creating the world's first apparatus that could simultaneously weld and generate additional current.
The next technological novelty was not long in coming - at the end of the sixties, BCS brought to the field "light" two-wheeled tractors, or the so-called walk-behind tractors. Thus, farmers get an alternative to both manual labor and bulky expensive machines.
In the eighties, the company begins to gradually expand outside of Italy. First, a branch was opened in Spain, then in France and Portugal. In 1988, BCS buys the Ferrari company. The company's developments also do not stand still: BCS continues to release more and more new inventions that make life easier for farmers.
In 1993, the company launched the first series of isodiametric tractors with thirty-two speeds. In 1994, the company receives the first quality certificate, for all possible points at once. Meanwhile, by the mid-nineties, the number of cars sold by the company reaches half a million. And the company continues to expand, opening new branches in Europe and absorbing smaller enterprises.
In 1998, BCS introduces the first series of water-cooled medium power generators. Isodiametric tractors continue to evolve. In 1999, the BCS buys the Pasquali company. With these achievements, the once small Italian firm entered a new century.
With the advent of the new millennium, a new era began for the company: in the year 2000, Fabricio Castoldi, the son of Luigi, who followed in his father's footsteps and also became an engineer, became its president. Fabricio quickly showed that he was worthy of continuing the family business - already in 2005, BCS finally expanded beyond Europe, opening a branch in India and starting the production of generators and welding machines in China.
By 2007, the number of cars sold by the company reaches the first million. In subsequent years, the company continues to develop actively and is confidently moving towards doubling this number. Branches of the company exist in many countries of the world.
Manufacturing process
The main components of machines built by BCS are made from various alloys to improve their quality and increase their service life. For example, for motor mowers and two-wheeled tractors (walk-behind tractors), aluminum alloy is used, while for larger machines, such as tractors and professional gardening equipment, special steel is used. In addition to their structural strength, both materials have a high impact absorption factor, which is especially important given the conditions in which machines made from them are typically used.
Most of the internal components, such as axles and gears, are made from chromium molybdenum alloy steel and heat treated to increase endurance and life cycle. In the BCS production centers, parts are manufactured with an accuracy of one hundredth of a millimeter. This allows the machines manufactured by the company to work at high intensity without repair and additional maintenance.
The production centers in Abiategrasso, Cusago and Luzzara have RDI divisions (RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION - research, development and innovation), where highly qualified employees work. At the center in Kusago R&D department is engaged in research of mechanics, electricity and electronics.
The center in Luzzara has a tractor test track that simulates different types of soil and crops. This allows technicians to thoroughly study the machine's performance under different conditions before releasing it for sale. In all centers, projects are carried out using 3D computer models. In addition to field testing, the company is also involved in the design of its products, building prototypes and researching their structure, performance, dynamics, power and operation of electrical and hydraulic systems. This allows us to constantly improve the company's products.
The quality of the company's products is largely due to industrial manufactory. Mechanical components are produced daily. The use of computer control ensures the high productivity of the entire industrial manufactory, as well as the high quality of the parts. The company produces all the main components of its machines independently. This allows BCS to be completely confident in the quality of its products, as well as to respond instantly to new market trends.
The company produces sheet metal for its products at the center in Kusago. High quality machines are used here and computer control is carried out. In addition to high precision, these machines also guarantee the constancy of the quality of the metal produced. Also, the materials used by the company undergo heat treatment in an artificial atmosphere, which maximizes their performance. Environmentally friendly products are used for painting parts. After painting, all elements undergo another heat treatment, which increases the service life and protects the machines from external factors. All parts are painted individually before assembly.
The machines are assembled on six lines by experienced technicians. The work is carried out scrupulously, in accordance with the highest requirements of the company to the quality of its products. Before being sent to the market, each product is inspected and carefully packaged. This is the last stage in the manufacture of technology. After that, the finished product goes to the warehouse.
