History (shortened Version)
In 1980 Baerlocher purchased shares of the company COMMER S.p.A., Lodi/Italy, which became BAERLOCHER ITALIA S.p.A. a few years later. COMMER S.p.A. manufactured high-quality liquid mixed metals, tin stabilizers and other additives.
Constant growth from its increasing range of performance additives led to the establishment of a technical application laboratory, in 1988, soon to be followed by a new administration building, constructed in 1990.
In 1992, the Liquid Mixed Metal production was moved entirely from Germany to Italy. In the same year, BAERLOCHER ITALIA S.p.A became Centre of Competence for rigid packaging film and calendared plastisol within the Baerlocher Group.
In 1993 the existing tank farm was relocated and improved in order to meet the production requirement and to cope with the best safety and environment standards.
Soon afterwards, in 1994, BAERLOCHER ITALIA S.p.A. was granted ISO 9001 certification for its Quality Management System. In addition, the process of revamping the packaging unit was completed with the installation of an automatic line for steel drums and IBCs in the same year.
An enormous highlight was the installation of a new plant for solid tin production using the solvent-free process in 1996.
In 2000, significant investments in the new product stocking area were made.
The following year, 2001, BAERLOCHER ITALIA S.p.A. was granted ISO 14001 certification for its Environmental Management System.
In 2005 the extension of the warehouse for dangerous and flammable goods was completed.
Launched in 2010., BAERLOCHER ITALIA S.p.A. celebrated the new range of Low VOC products for flooring.
A successful reconstruction of the new modernized Liquid Mixed Metal plant took place in 2011. In 2014, the new Low VOC kickers were launched in the market.
