In 1885, Settimio Baschieri and Guido Pellagri began the first experiments to create a smokeless gunpowder. In 1886 the two friends thus created the ACAPNIA powder, which in Greek means “without smoke”.
1891 is the year of the foundation of the company “Baschieri & Pellagri”, a goal achieved thanks to the splendid results achieved by the innovative products created by the two friends. The company experienced periods of turbulence, so much so that in 1913 Settimio Baschieri liquidated the shareholder Guido Pellagri, allowing the entry into the company of Ulisse Manfredi, who in 1909 had married Maria Baschieri, daughter of Settimio. The “Baschieri & Pellagri”, based in Bologna, still today pursues the objectives that the founders had set themselves to achieve: quality and continuous innovation.
In fact, the company creates a product with excellent performance and maximum reliability, which are based on continuous research, with the aim of optimizing and innovating not only the finished product, but also the raw materials, the design and development of the machines. production, processing cycles and the organization of human resources.
