Fulchir Group acquires a stake in BCS Group, manufacturer of agricultural machinery under the BCS, Ferrari, Pasquali, and Mosa brands. This brings a decisive turning point in the financial uncertainty that had affected the company recently. BCS is headquartered in Abbiategrasso, Italy.

The Group has confirmed the establishment of an new company that will lease the business unit comprising the BCS, Ferrari, Pasquali, and Mosa brands and operations, with the goal of resuming production as of early October.

All approximately 430 current employees will transfer to the new company, ensuring full job protection. The plan calls for a full recovery of employment by early 2028, thanks to a new CIGS procedure for restructuring that will accompany the gradual return to work in line with the business plan presented. Production will soon resume in full at the plants in Abbiategrasso (MI), Cusago (MI), and Luzzara (RE) in Italy.

As a sign of the company’s continuity, BCS will participate this coming November in EIMA, the International exhibition of agricultural and gardening machinery in Bologna, Italy. EIMA brings together manufacturers from every continent, showcasing the sector’s technologies on a global scale and attracting professionals from over 90 countries.

“I was very impressed,” said Carlo Fulchir, President of the Fulchir Group, “by BCS’s potential, its many market-leading products, modern production facilities and excellent sales network, and its growth prospects, thanks in part to the new products it is preparing to launch. I am convinced that BCS and the Fulchir Group together can achieve significant consolidation and growth objectives in the near future.”

BCS President Fabrizio Castoldi also commented positively on the transaction: “The merger of the two companies is the best outcome we could have hoped for our beloved company and its employees, because it will not only allow us to revitalize the company but also to launch the production of major new products that will be launched shortly.”
