The Dellas Group story
It invests in state-of-the-art machinery to automate work processes and increase production quantities. With a view to industrial transformation 4.0, the company is able to respond promptly to new market requirements and adapt its business to global changes.
It incorporates a vertical warehouse that speeds up many functions, optimising costs, delivery times and the work of employees. It is an indispensable strategic choice to face an increasingly dynamic, flexible future with very specific demands.
In addition, it enlarges the diamond tools for ceramics warehouse in Sassuolo, with the aim of continuing to ensure punctual deliveries, prompt responses, an identity in line with the parent company, as well as further expanding the catalogue with new products.
With a view to technological transformation and in view of the sudden changes in the market, the company invests in new machinery and automated production processes to guarantee customers, high quality and high performance products.
Development of the 3DIM patent
The merger to incorporate Peak International Spa, a famous brand in the ceramics sector, saw Dellas Spa take a further step forward, both in terms of quality and sales.
In addition, the company obtains a patent for the innovative 3DIM technology, which allows the creation of 3D diamond segments for processing natural stone, also optimising cutting performance.
Thanks to the know-how gained in partnership with Peak International Spa, a Vicenza-based company that develops and markets items specifically for the ceramic world, ecological grinding wheels are being developed that anticipate an emerging need. In the same year, two Ceramic Stores are inaugurated, one in Sassuolo (Italy) and one in Onda (Spain), in response to a rapidly expanding ceramics market that requires a more capillary and continuous presence in the territory.
Daniele Ferrari, Isidoro Ferrari's son, took over as CEO of the company.
In the same year, the Turkish subsidiary "Dellas Instabul Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret As" and the Chinese subsidiary "Dellas Diamond Tools Suzhou Co ltd" (later closed) were established.
With a view to remain close to the industry, it also opened an Ethiopian branch 'Dellas Spa Ethiopian Branch' (no longer active), to serve the entire sub-Saharan African market.
After the 2008 crisis, it was necessary to renew, differentiate and customise the offer. Thus began the entry of Dellas alongside the ceramic industries in these years. After studies, research and the modernisation of production departments, the production of grinding wheels for processing ceramic tiles began.
Listening to the industry, focusing on the future and intuition in understanding new trends lead the company towards true innovation in material cutting products. The diamond wire was born, optimising the production process in terms of both cost and performance.
Thanks to highly specialised personnel and a good internal organisation, the company has remained dynamic and lean over time, and has even established itself internationally. Thus, the Spanish subsidiary 'Dellas Spain sl' was created to serve the fast-growing Hispanic market.
The study, research and production of all tools for CNC machines for machining the various materials available on the market began.
In response to growing market demand, and aware of the recognition gained by the industry, the company enriched its product catalogue with diamond tools for polishing and calibration. Every year since then, new lines for specific machines have been presented, with the aim of helping entrepreneurs to obtain an increasingly high-performance finished product, suitable for the emerging needs of the furnishing sector and those involved in interior design.
Thanks to the intuition of Sole Administrator, Isidoro Ferrari, the business was transferred to Lugo, a hamlet in the municipality of Grezzana in the province of Verona, in the heart of one of the world's best-known marble districts. And it is thanks to this strategic position that Dellas Spa becomes a reliable ally for the industries in this sector that are entering international markets.
The company changes its name to Dellas Spa. The company bases its business model on a strong research and development department and, together with the partners it works with, creates the 'extended laboratory' of its tools. In this way, it dialogues on an ongoing basis with stone craftsmen and gains experience in its own territory.
In Desenzano del Garda, in the province of Brescia, the company 'Deltas di Sinigaglia & Viazzo Snc' was founded. The core business is clear and already mature since its foundation. The company, in fact, immediately started producing and marketing high quality diamond tools for marble and granite processing. The iconic product of these years is the diamond disc, followed by the blade for single- and multi-blade frames.
