Family history[]
Then we will quote in some lines, the history of the company, which was extracted from Reinas Mecánicas (by José María Barrale): "My father-in-law, Don Felipe Bonetto, was a pioneer in the planting of peanut crops in this town", he exclaimed, "and the technology became present, thus creating the first factory for peanut-picking harvesters and, at the same time, mixed harvesters (wheat, flax, soy, etc.).
