A passion for the making, “il fare”.

“I have always been inspired by my passion to build things up. And by my relentless curiosity for technology.

Open-minded as an ambitious explorer and creative as a productive inventor, years ago I started conceiving new ways of building things, using materials and technologies that were avant-gardist back then.

Ever since, we never stopped, and today we are more committed than ever to understand customer needs and give them the best of our solutions.”

Our history

Bercella has its roots in Varano de’ Melegari since 1996, when the founder Franco Bercella builds a ultra-light plane with Composite Materials, starting his experiments with Carbon Fiber, a lot early on time.

The expertise acquired in 25 years activity in Composites, brought Bercella to a leading position in the worldwide International Racing sector:

In 2000 Bercella designs and realises several components for single seaters, such as monocoques and bodyworks for various Formulas, among which: F2, F3, F. Renault and Indycar

Meanwhile the company decides to start a diversification process thanks to continuous R&D investments, that expand and consolidate Bercella’s expertise in its business sectors.

2002 is the year of the first qualifications for the Aviation sector
In 2009 Bercella enters the Defense sector supplying Radomes and Reflectors for the most important players both in Italy and abroad
In 2012 the production approach, gradually evolves from build-to-print to build-to-spec, underlining Bercella’s designing vocation

Nowadays Bercella is the Italian Market Leader for Space Structures as well, with worldwide successful solutions and components.
