• line (“BRETON”) for polishing, honing, brushing and sandblasting of stone gang-saw slabs
• flaming line for stone and granite slabs (“FRACCAROLI & BALZAN”)
• bush-hammering line for stone and granite slabs (“CARL MEYER”)
• 2 automatic lines for the production of flooring and marmeton (“BRETON” and “SIMEC”)
• linear milling machine (“DONATONI SX-3”) with 3 heads
• “SIMEC” line for longitudinal and lateral cutting
• 5 CNC milling machines with 5 axes (“BRETON” and “DONATONI”)
• 7 milling machines with 3-4 axes (“BISSO” and “CMPI”)
• line comprised of 3 machines for stone splitting (“BENETTI MACCHINE”)
• stone “tumbling” machine (“RÖSSLER” and “KROMAS”)
• scratching machine (“CAMPAGNOLA & FEDELI”)

• machines for the shaping of rounded and straight edges (“MONTRESOR” and “COMANDULLI”)
• CNC engraving and relief making machine
• Water-jet cutting machine
• drill (“PROTEC”)
• 3 grinders for solid elements (“BISSO”)
• and a stonemasonry workshop for expert manual processing
