INTRODUCTION HISTORY
Wesley & Walter Bellora
B.C.F. Precision Grinding Works (Pty) Ltd. was established in July 1966 by the late Rinaldo Natale Bellora and the late Luigi Giordana. Rinaldo was an artisan from Italy who worked at the world famous Graziano Lathes in Tortona a Company where they manufactured Graziano lathes. After immigrating to South Africa in 1952, he worked for H. R. Lasch (Pty) Ltd, in Germiston, machining parts for the overhead Lasch cranes. Luigi, also an artisan from Italy had worked for the Italian Air Force and Fiat Automobile manufacturers in Torino as a grinder.
Grinding jobs for customers such as Nordberg Ltd. and E.C. Lenning Ltd enabled B.C.F. Precision Grinding Works (Pty) Ltd. to steadily expand and in 1967 they found a niche in the market to service a steel mill called Union Steel Corporation Ltd. in Vereeniging. By 1979 guide rollers, shear blades and various tackle for Vaal Works and Klipworks were being reconditioned.
In December 1979 Walter Bellora followed in his father’s footsteps and learnt the ropes of servicing the steel mills. B.C.F.
