Bellmer Acquires Rolotipo, Strengthening Roll Service Capabilities in Brazil & Latin America

Bellmer GmbH, one of the leading international suppliers of paper and board machinery, proudly announces the acquisition of Rolotipo Indústria e Comércio de Artefatos de Borracha e Plásticos Ltda. (https://www.rolotipo.com.br/), one of Brazil’s most respected specialists in roll covering and roll services for the paper and pulp industry.

Founded in 1971, Rolotipo has established itself as a trusted partner for customers in the paper, pulp, graphic arts and steel industries. The company is recognised for its expertise in rubber roll coverings, roll grinding, drilling, dynamic balancing, shaft manufacturing and other specialised mechanical services. With its strong focus on quality, innovation and customer support, Rolotipo has built long-standing relationships with leading industrial customers throughout Brazil.

The acquisition represents an important milestone in Bellmer’s strategy to expand its service capabilities and strengthen its position in South America. By combining Bellmer’s process and equipment expertise with Rolotipo’s extensive know-how in roll services and coverings, customers will benefit from an even broader range of integrated solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of their production equipment.

The acquisition of Rolotipo perfectly aligns with our vision to deliver a broad portfolio of solutions to our customers. We are more than excited to welcome Rolotipo to the Bellmer Group and look forward to taking the next steps together. Rolotipo’s strong reputation, technical expertise and customer-focused culture make the company an excellent fit for our long-term growth strategy.

Rolotipo will further strengthen Bellmer’s presence in Brazil, one of the most important paper and pulp markets worldwide. The company’s established infrastructure, experienced workforce and dedicated research and development activities will serve as a strong foundation for future growth and innovation.

We are very proud of Rolotipo’s merger with Bellmer, a family-owned company with 184 years of history, tradition, and international recognition, whose values and long-term vision align with our own. For me, Marco Antônio, after 44 years in this industry, it is a great honor to be part of this new chapter, bringing together Rolotipo’s history spanning more than five decades with Bellmer’s experience and technology. I believe this merger represents a very important step for the pulp and paper market in Brazil, bringing new technologies, opportunities and significant business prospects, without losing the essence and values that have always been part of our history.

Marco Antonio de Angelis, Director, Rolotipo

The transaction reflects the strong strategic fit between the two family-owned companies and their shared commitment to customer proximity, engineering & service excellence and sustainable long-term development. Together, Bellmer and Rolotipo will continue to invest in innovative technologies and service capabilities to support customers across the paper and pulp industry. The transaction is expected to close in early 2027, subject to customary closing conditions.
