The company
Present for more than forty years on the market for workplace safety
and protections for machine tools
Welcome to PEI
The strategy of success of the PEI Group emerges from the intuition of the founding partners in recognising the importance of workplace safety, which has led, since the 1980s, to the significant development of the market for protective covers in machine tools.
Innovation, quality and constantly keeping an eye on the sales prices are the driving values of the PEI Group, a leading manufacturer in Italy and Europe of protective covers for machine tools.
The experience gained in over 40 years presence on the market has led to an amalgamation of commercial and managerial competence with extensive know-how in production engineering. By striving for constant technical innovation, the Group has succeeded in attaining over 70 international patents up today.
In order to offer bellows, aprons, roll-up and telescopic covers suitable for the continuously evolving customer or market requirements, the PEI Group invests more than 4% of its annual turnover in Research and Development.
The commercial structure of the PEI Group consists of a widespread network of commercial technicians and thus guarantees coverage across the whole of Italy and Germany as well as a major part of the rest of Europe. Through trade agreements, products “made by PEI” are distributed worldwide. The past few years the Group has experienced a strong growth and turnover abroad has reached 50% of the total turnover.

Vittorio Mardegan
Ever since the beginning of his career, Vittorio Mardegan has focused on the industrial machine tool protective cover sector. In fact, he started his professional experience in 1981 as technical office manager of an industrial protective cover manufacturer. He founded S.P.E.R., the glued, round sewn and heat-formed bellows manufacturing company that in 1985 entered into an agreement with the PEI Group and later became a part of it. He is currently a group shareholder and executive.
Michele Benedetti
He started working at PEI as an engineer in 1992 and shortly afterwards stood out as the central figure in the Innovation and Development department. In 2005, he joined the partners of PEI and proved to be a leading manager who will be able to share administration of the PEI Group in the future following a path of technical development and expansion in all markets.
Andrea Zambelli
His professional development took place during his work as a management consultant for the strategy division in Andersen Consulting, where he worked on business plans for important clients in Italy and abroad. During this time, he was also assigned exceptional tasks.
He acquired further corporate experience implementing development strategies, in particular during his employment as manager of the Bologna Trade Fair.
In 2012, he joined PEI, responsible for accompanying the corporation in its internationalisation outside Europe. This was realised by the opening of a production site in Brazil in March 2013. Due to his expertise in management and strategic planning, he subsequently became a shareholder of the group.
