Our history

1990

In 1990, Badin Pietro e Figli SNC became Badin Srl, with a significant increase in turnover and business. As time went by, however, there was an organisational dissonance between the production of machines, which took 6-8 months, and that of griddle plates, which had a delivery time of 20 working days.

2001

Smartech Italia S.p.A. was founded in 2001 as a result of the merger of the two branches of Badin srl. The company focused on the production of professional cooking plates for the catering industry and quickly became the technological partner of several important companies in the professional catering equipment sector.

2005

In 2005, Smartech Italia launched Onfalós, an innovative cooking tool that combines know-how, ease of use and elegant design, representing the high quality associated with Made in Italy. Aimed at professional chefs, restaurant owners and cooking enthusiasts, Onfalós combines years of research with a design by Studio Atelier Bellini of Milan that has won awards such as the Compasso d'Oro nomination. Thanks to its quality and reliability, Onfalós has been successful in several European markets and is becoming increasingly popular internationally. Media coverage has further consolidated its reputation as an indispensable tool for perfect cooking. A symbol of innovation and elegance, Onfalós transforms every dish into a work of art.

2013

Smartech Italia undertook a profound transformation of its organisational method, adopting the system known as the 'Lean Methodology' or the 'Toyota Way'. This approach has impacted and continues to impact all production and organisational activities. At the same time, the technological renewal of equipment and production systems has further increased quality levels and production capacity. It is precisely because of the Lean Methodology that Smartech Italia has become a model for companies of all sizes and in all sectors.

2017

We integrate the Lean Methodology with Lean Accounting, which has led to a significant improvement in the company's performance. The gradual growth and consolidation of Smartech Italia in the market has allowed the development of collaborations with professional companies, leading to the creation of innovative products in terms of technology and functionality. These successful collaborations are our greatest achievement.

TODAY

Smartech Italia's main customers are the largest catering equipment manufacturers in Europe. The principle of continuous improvement to meet customers' needs characterises all of Smartech Italia's activities, at every stage of the manufacturing process. The improvement of the production capacity makes it possible to satisfy peaks in demand and to stabilise the process. This constant research is combined with investments in new machinery aimed at increasing production efficiency, improving standards, reducing order processing times and, finally, reducing environmental impact and energy consumption.

A collaborative environment for a close-knit team in production and administration

The large windows in Smartech Italia's headquarters not only improve communication between the production department and the offices, but also symbolise our commitment to enhancing the contribution of each individual within the company.



We promote visibility and interaction, supporting a corporate culture based on transparency, mutual respect and collaboration. These principles underline Smartech Italia's commitment to creating a cohesive environment where the value of each sector is appreciated and celebrated, contributing to shared productivity and constant synergy.



We believe that autonomy is the key to developing self-assessment and critical thinking skills, accompanied by a careful and thorough approach.
