INCOMA, acquired by BERGI OFB in 1997, has designed, built and marketed leather processing machines and equipment ever since it was founded in 1965. The INCOMA operations and production base is located in Thiene in Vicenza province near the major leather manufacturing centre of Arzignano.

The prestigious brand name, known worldwide, has achieved recognition ever since the 1970's for the introduction of the multi-table sandwich type vacuum dryer into the market place. Rising customer demand resulted in high factory output rates of this machine, rapidly leading to a major expansion of its manufacture with the factory production area extended to 4,000 m².

In the span of two decades the number of dryers built exceeded 2,000 units, all put into service in more than 50 countries worldwide.

INCOMA further became recognised for its rollcoating machinery for leather finishing, which began to replace rotary spraying machines in the early 1970's, thanks to the savings in chemical products and the reduction of atmospheric emissions resulting from the adoption of this new technology.

These two groups of machines continue to be the mainstay of Incoma production.

After years of consolidation and sustained production, the technology arrived at a high degree of reliability to the point where it became a reference standard for competitors, who at that time were still at the development stage. INCOMA was the entrepreneurial fountainhead inspiring today's vacuum dryer construction.

To keep up with the times and to make the most of the high technology becoming available in the late 1990's, INCOMA decided to set up its own research and development organisation. Imaginative and competent professionals staffing it have the capacity to develop new ranges of highly competitive products to further advance the prestigious brand name to be a reference point for the future. The machines now in production completely fulfilling set objectives are presented in the following pages.
