We are proud to have presented our company and participated in “Collection,” an interesting and educational event that allowed us to expand the vision of innovation of Made in Italy abroad. Special thanks to Colorobbia who organized and managed the event.
A shining example of a successful product made in Italy, Fickert Abrasives will be Tecno Diamant’s flagship solution in the new year as well. Designed and implemented by technical experts within the Tecno Diamant Lab of Spezzano, a newly upgraded space complete with the most innovative technologies for Industry 4.0, these tools continue to be a must-have in the surface finishing and treatment segment of the ceramic world, given the results achieved in terms of the quality of the finished product.
The Fickert line was introduced by Tecno Diamant, a leading manufacturer and distributor of diamond tools for nearly 30 years, at Tecna 2022, soon proving to be a valuable ally in slab and tile finishing operations. In fact, these tools make it possible to modify their surface layers and give them high levels of super gloss, allowing for endless finishing variations on any type of machining, thanks to an unparalleled ability to adapt to different technologies. The great flexibility of Fickert Abrasives thus leads to meeting the needs of each manufacturer, calibrating the diamond compound ad hoc and customizing the tool according to requirements.
In general, Tecno Diam ant’s entire range of diamond tools is the result of technical know-how capable of anticipating styles and trends: an added value for each product, which stands out for its quality and recognizability, finding great success both in the Italian market and beyond national borders. It is no coincidence, then, that the international vision of the company, from 1995 to the present, has continued to feed on, defining its leadership through the opening of new branches In strategic countries for the sector, such as Brazil, China, Poland, Russia, Spain and Turkey. Crucially important outposts for spreading the excellence of the Formiginese company.
But Tecno Diamant is not only quality and high product performance; it is also a company that makes services its trump card. In fact, the company stands by the customer’s side, assisting them at every stage of the sales cycle, guaranteeing technical assistance and timely and efficient deliveries, acting as a reference partner that is always up-to-date on the various trends in the ceramic market.
Numerous disadvantaged people from the social cooperative provide services for canning products.
Collaboration between different entities as an engine to put virtuous actions into circulation. For Tecno Diamant, a company based in Formigine (MO) and active in the production and distribution of diamond tools for porcelain stoneware and natural stone, as well as an exceptional partner of prestigious ceramic realities all over the world, networking with the outside world is, more than a desire, a real intrinsic necessity of its core business.
With this spirit that has always distinguished it and after having collaborated in recent years with important projects in the area – such as “Play School” and “#sportanchio,” dedicated to motor practice for primary and secondary school students in Formigine – the company has renewed its collaboration contract with the Alecrim Work cooperative to help disadvantaged people in the area. Specifically, this is a relationship between the two entities that has been going on for a number of years now, with the cooperative providing services within Tecno Diamant’s facilities regarding the canning of products.
Alecrim Work was founded almost 30 years ago with the goal of building a professional and quality company that can operate in the market with a policy that pays special attention to disadvantaged and disabled people, valuing everyone’s skills. Among the activities carried out is the contract workshop formula, which is what is offered at Tecno Diamant and consists of giving opportunities for expression to people with greater difficulties, whether motor or cognitive. Currently, the number of people employed by the social cooperative exceeds 230, nearly 70 percent of whom have a disadvantage that does not, however, prevent them from operating at their best by feeling useful to society and making their own contribution in the world of work.
At Tecno Diamant, people from Alecrim Work serve in the company on a daily basis, with professionalism and precision, building a path of dignity, personal growth and greater autonomy with their own hands.
At a difficult time, characterized by difficulties in material procurement, Tecno Diamant, a leading manufacturer of diamond tools, decided to totally absorb the increase in costs without passing them on to the customer. A concrete action also made possible by the foresight of the logistics manager, who in the not-so-suspicious times decided, given the then particularly favorable conditions, to increase stock in the warehouse. Along with cost-cutting, Tecno Diamant’s signature logistics also stands out for reduced management time. Because it is networked, the new 4.0 management system is able, once the order is received, to start the job order automatically, thus initiating production and the necessary documentation.
Formigine-based company in strategic partnership with U.S. retailer
A large facility of about 900 m2 equipped with the most innovative ceramic processing solutions. This is 2IG CORP, a U.S. dealer of Tecno Diamant-branded products, the leading Italian company in the Sassuolo ceramic district that has specialized in the production of diamond tools for stoneware and natural stone for more than 30 years.
Opened in 2019 in Cookeville, Tennessee, 2IG CORP is a sales subsidiary with Tecno Diamant exclusivity that makes spare parts for ceramic companies its core business. Creating a strong partnership in tune with the internalization policy sought by Tecno Diamant, 2IG CORP recently closed a distribution contract with Maincer, another major European manufacturer of cutting and bullnose machinery. This is a strategic agreement that will further fuel the overseas business and worldwide distribution of the Formigine (MO) company’s products, which has been a key player in steady growth in recent years.
All of Tecno Diamant’s made-in-Italy innovation and craftsmanship thus flows through a network of partner companies, reaching all the way to the end customer who can sift through a multitude of products. These include diamond, resinoid, and Fickert abrasive tools created for use in the processes of cutting, squaring, lapping, beveling, and profiling surfaces of porcelain tile, natural stone, and other materials.
Just on U.S. soil, the latest market data show that the products with the greatest appeal turn out to be squaring tools, followed next by lapping tools (with a sharp increase in demand expected by 2023) and parts tools. The purchase of ceramic solutions takes place mainly in the southern United States, which is still the most flourishing scenario, given the presence of the most important American ceramic companies there.
In addition to 2IG CORP, Tecno Diamant then relied on multiple subsidiaries scattered around the world to expand its business. Open in strategic countries such as Spain, Poland, Turkey, Russia, China and Brazil, these outposts guarantee customers the production quality of the parent company, significantly facilitating service, spare parts and customer care services.

Created for use in cutting, squaring, lapping, chamfering and surface profiling processes, Fickerts are an attractive product for the American continent, which, as the latest market data show, reserves a great deal of interest in squaring, lapping and reciprocating technologies.
An opportunity, in short, to make yourself known and expand your business alongside a strategic dealer such as 2IG CORP, a sales subsidiary with exclusive Tecno Diamant based in Tennessee. In addition to this, for years now the Formiginese company can then rely on multiple strategic branches opened and located in different countries around the world, such as Spain, Poland, Turkey, Russia, China and Brazil. A way to guarantee customers the production quality of the parent company while facilitating service, spare parts and customer care services.
