The Company
Ghines can be described as “smart manufacturing”, a distinctive feature of our company: straightforward ideas focused on specific exigencies and typical Italian inventiveness and technology, wide-ranging R&D, to be in a market which is moving forward.
For more than 25 years Ghines has operated in the stone market, constantly generating ground-breaking solutions for stonemasons in order to enhance and improve their work, since the Sector, the first portable shape-milling machine in the world, was created in 1985.
Such has been the success of this small machine, that by saying “Sector” means nowadays a “portable machine for contouring”.
In the early 90’s our Company embraced also stationary machinery production, as to say, “operator Controlled” stone-working machines; no later than a few years after that, Ghines puts up a new production line for vulcanized polishing tools, covered by a world patent.
With the Millennium shift the next step is to enlarge the production range to a complete set of tools. Indeed, in the G-Tools line all the most effective diamond coating techniques are combined, taking full advantage of each technique according to the specific function, both in manual machinery tooling and CNC tooling.
It is therefore sensible speaking of Ghines as of “world apart”, marking its own way by a straight and simple problem-solving approach. 

History

The Past
