After being established in Bologna in 1939, in the 60s Pelliconi moved to Ozzano where, with its 40 employees, it was one of the few companies on Via Emilia, around it was all countryside. The metal sheets were transported by hand and the yearly production was of 3 billion caps, all produced with semiautomatic machines (today we manufacture around 30 billion closures per year). The so-called “assorted jobs” department was in charge for two types of bottle openers, trays and caps for oil, wine and the containers for the “Re Sole” licorice candy.

Even back then Pelliconi was known as a company that was always on the move. In the years 1974 and 1975 the first “evolved” crown cork machines were introduced, that made crowns with cork liners were introduced.

With the revolution of the crown cork with PVC liner (instead of cork) of the 80s, Pelliconi confirmed that innovation was, and still is, its strongest suit. A constant research that, together with technological progress, has led to continuous improvements to the product, production lines and in the field of sustainability. The flagship of this revolution was, in 2008, the introduction of Maxi P-26 Ring Pull Cap.

The Company has implemented a series of projects, among these:
- SOPURE® cap for baby food with a 51 mm diameter in PVC-FREE.
- FLOWER CAP a revolutionary cap among metal closures.
- MAXISMART a suggestive reinterpretation of the ring-pull cap.
- DIGITAL PRINTING the future of customising: endless creativity in a very short time.
- DAPP: the consumer engagement platform that allows packaging to go digital.
