Our history dates back in

1950

With the father of current owners Marco and Davide Achilli, Ercole Achilli started a small metalworking firm; the business began in a tiny workshop and within a few years it specialized into the production of floor grinding machines.

Ercole, supported by his wife Sara, was able to expand into the foreign markets thanks to his participation at countless international trade shows. The export of his floor grinders increased exponentially abroad.
This first expansion stage allowed the company to develop and enter new markets by starting the production of new products such as the portable bench saws for building materials and, later on, the bridge saws for stone fabricators.

After so many years of expansion Achilli, having reached a leading position in his field, has maintained a family atmosphere and is today managed by Ercole’s sons: Marco, technical, R & D and production manager and Davide, leading administrative and commercial areas.
