Luciano Bottoli established BIMEC with a partner.
Headquartered in Cardano al Campo (VA), the company designed and manufactured winders and special processors intended for plastics on a make-to-order and customized base.
The first STB/75, STA/528, STB/529, STE/530 slitter rewinders were manufactured.
In 1986 Bimec create their new logo which is still in use today.
An expansion of the production plant becomes necessary.
Bimec moved to new premises in San Macario di Samarate.
The company acquires strong know-how in the design and construction of slitter rewinders for cutting and rewinding plastic, laminates, paper films and materials used in the flexible packaging market.
The main models are the type with central winding on two shafts: from the previous models the STB/40 is developed, which is the ancestor of all the models that Bimec will develop with the characteristic of having winding and unwinding on the same side.
From the STC/531 model, the manual and economical STC/535 model is marketed, which will be very successful with many customers, especially small converters entering the world of flexible packaging for the first time.
The range of BIMEC slitters was constantly growing: the first slitters featuring central-peripheral winding were manufactured.
In 1990, BIMEC took part in DRUPA, the international fair held in Düsseldorf dedicated to print and graphical arts, for the first time.
BIMEC started managing its sales network independently both in Italy (previously assigned to Italwork, its dealer) and abroad.
A network of local agents was created.
Bottoli family second generation started joining the company.
Elena was responsible for the commercial area, and then also of the financial/administrative, corporate marketing and communication department as well.

In the same years, the BTS is born as an evolution of the BTC.
BDM, the first bi-directional inspection machine, was introduced.
Underpinned by its growth, BIMEC moved into its new headquarters in Vanzaghello, near Milan Malpensa airport, and started relying upon wide production premises, offices and R&D lab.
The management engineer joined the company as person in charge of logistics and production.
The first TCA was manufactured – the slitter rewinder with double changeover that became one of the top models of the production range.
The TCA84 was marketed – a slitter featuring automatic changeover to wind diameters up to 800 mm.
The first TBS was manufactured – the first BIMEC machine intended for narrow web applications.
The headquarters in Vanzaghello were expanded and a second adjoining 2600-sqm hall was built.
The company celebrated its first 40 years and introduced outstanding technological innovations at Drupa and K fairs.
The double turret slitter with automatic changeover, an evolution of TCA64E, was designed to offer unrivalled performance and dramatic reduction of machine downtimes.
The partnership focused on offering a comprehensive portfolio of end-to-end products and services.
