Tecna People | Marco Meggiorin, Sales Manager Italdiamant S.p.A.

Italdiamant has been producing diamond tools for processing marble, natural stone, quartz agglomerate, granite, ceramic and porcelain gres since 1976. The company has a widespread presence in Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East.

What are the main market trends in terms of technology and which of these are you devoting most attention to?

Italdiamant S.p.A.’s range of new diamond tools cater to the fast-growing large-format porcelain slab machining sector. We are focusing in particular on the following trends:
Higher productivity: This is always an important factor. However, while many solutions offer high-speed processing, they often risk compromising the quality of the finish. With this in mind, we developed the EvoGres series of tools specifically for the ceramic industry to ensure an unprecedented level of quality.
Safety and sustainability: We are seeing growing demand for products that not only deliver superior performance but are also produced sustainably. At the heart of our product development process is a deep commitment to human safety and protection of the environment. We use sustainable materials and adopt eco-friendly production practices. But most importantly of all, we can demonstrate that Italdiamant products are free from substances of very high concern (SVHCs), such as nickel, and we avoid the use of copper.
Artificial Intelligence: AI and machine learning algorithms are becoming increasingly widely adopted, helping us to automate and monitor our production processes.

Which geographical area has been most active in recent months?

Alongside the slowdown in Europe and steady activity in North America, we have seen a recovery in Asia and renewed interest in Africa in recent months.

What are your expectations forTecna 2024?

With our durable, high-quality tools, we aim to position ourselves in the Italian market as a new alternative to existing products. Tecna is an important showcase that will help us achieve this goal.
