History

BELL was founded in 1984 in Reggio Emilia – Italy as a spin-off of the OGNIBENE SPA – today OGNIBENE POWER SPA – with the aim of developing new products for the forestry, agricultural and gardening market. In particular the hydraulic log splitters considered for years an innovation on the European market was initially developed by Ognibene and therefore produced in BELL.

The new company BELL SRL has grown since then and has become a market leader by developing hydraulic log splitters along with many other products, such as the full range of petrol engine brushcutters or a lightweight chainsaw suitable for pruning.

In 2000, BELL SRL decides to focus in the Automotive and Industrial market and develops a complete range of hydraulic products including hydraulic pumps for lifting cars and motorcycles and for many other applications. In the same period it also produces a wide range of hydraulic filters also called “last-chance filters” useful to keep the fluids of the hydraulic circuits always clean and free of impurities. 

Today, over 35 years of experience in the hydraulic sector, BELL SRL continues today to innovate and to place on the global market high quality competitive products 100% Made in Italy.
