What Société Bonzini does

Société Bonzini is a privately held, family-controlled French manufacturer of premium table football (babyfoot) tables, founded in 1927 and currently led by fourth-generation President Ingrid Bergaglia. The company designs, builds, and sells three core table models — the B60 coin-operated bar model (€3,000+), the B90 non-coin residential/business model (€2,000–3,000), and the entry-level Stadium (from €1,500) — plus special models (Giant 7.5m, 2-bar, Commode), bespoke/custom editions, spare parts, accessories, and compressed wood briquettes made from production waste. Bonzini's B90 ITSF is the only French competition table homologated by the ITSF and FFBF/FFFT federations since 1992, anchoring a strong position in the competitive circuit.

The business operates primarily direct-to-consumer through its e-commerce site (bonzini.com), a Bagnolet show-room, and phone sales, supplemented by enterprise field sales for custom/bespoke orders and federation distribution for competition tables. Revenue derives from one-time hardware sales across price tiers (€1,290 entry competition model to €5,000+ half-giant and custom premium units), spare parts and accessories, and co-branded editions with marquee partners including PSG, Renault, Mama Shelter, Berluti, and the Louvre. Connectivity (Tecbak/Foosball Society) and an in-house briquette by-product line extend the surface area. With 11 employees, ~100,000 B90 units and ~121,000 B60 units produced to date, and a 30–40 year average product lifespan, Bonzini runs a niche, vertically integrated manufacturing operation with stable, high-margin custom work layered onto a steady consumer base in France.
