It represents the key for precision and reliability.”, says Mr. Kämpfer and continues: “With WALLRAM GrindTec as manufacturer of LIZZINI machines, we are now holding that key. Quality and flexibility in our production processes can now be taken a step further. Now, we can offer more individual and special solutions to our customers.” The person in charge of the LIZZINI business is Massimiliano Tortelli. He also sees a great potential for the future: “The development and production of machines combined with user know-how is an important criteria for our products. It enables us to get a better understanding of our client’s requirements. We can then incorporate this knowledge in the engineering process of our machines.” The WALLRAM-Group with further affiliate companies and production sites in Herborn und Essen in Germany, Krakow in Poland, Colorado Springs in the USA, Dale in Norway and now also in Montichiari in Italy, is supplier of precision tools and wearing parts out of tungsten carbide, ceramics and tool steel.
