"In a way, we've been a bit of a secret company," says Norman Coop, managing director of the U.K. branch of Vezzani S. p. A... a shear and baler maker based in Ovada, Italy. And, indeed, Vezzani is relatively unknown in North America, even though it now has about 15 large shears and a few balers in the United States and several machines in Mexico. But the manufacturer is certainly no secret at home in Italy, where it can boast of "200 or 300" installations and integral partnerships with leading Italian manufacturers, especially steelmakers and some of the world's most sophisticated steelmaking equipment producers. It's also made a name for itself in other pockets of the world, placing scrap processing equipment in steelworks throughout Asia and some of Europe. Back on this side of the Atlantic, however, Vezzani lives up to Coop's "secret" assessment, which he attributes to the fact that Italy is not usually thought of as a primary source of processing machinery. In fact, even Coop, who has had a long career in the baler and shear business, says he was skeptical at first. "I admit I never saw Italy as a nation of engineers. It's a big surprise when you visit Northern Italy and find some of the finest manufacturing in the world-heavy equipment, machinery of all types. It's a big culture shock to non-Italians."
