Since 2006, Bonnet has been part of the American group ITW (Illinois Tool Works), a world leader in multi-sector manufacturing, paving the way for accelerated growth, constant innovation and a strengthened position in the international market.
The ITW Group, from past to present: solutions of excellence based on constant innovation
Founded in 1912 in Chicago and born from the meeting of an investor and a group of tool inventors, the ITW Group has, over more than a century of existence, successfully diversified and established itself worldwide, whilst remaining true to its commitment to excellence in the solutions it offers its customers and to that constant pursuit of innovation which makes it a global leader in various sectors of activity.
ITW, a manufacturer of advanced industrial technologies with a global presence
A world leader in multi-sector manufacturing, ITW operates in 51 countries and employs 45,000 people. The American group operates across seven business segments: automotive, construction, polymers and fluids, specialised products, electronic testing and measurement, welding, and food equipment – the sector into which Bonnet was integrated in 2006.
ITW and Bonnet: shared values to kick off the venture
A major venture was thus beginning: Bonnet joined the Food Equipment Group, a leader in its sector. This merger came about naturally thanks to shared values of trust, respect and integrity, which became the solid foundations guiding both companies. It was an opportunity for Bonnet to expand its initiatives in sustainable development and corporate social responsibility.
A collaboration paving the way for innovation
Bonnet’s integration into this international group provides access to advanced resources and technologies to improve all equipment, develop sustainable solutions and boost innovation capacity. These strengths enable our French company, based in the Jura region, to remain at the forefront of its sector.
International expansion
Joining the ITW Group also opens the door to international opportunities: increased access to new markets and customers boosts development and sales potential across different continents. Bonnet’s equipment is now being deployed on a large scale, ready to meet ever-growing global demand.
