A history of innovation that has continued for three generations

In 1954 Luigi Bovone founded the company with a clear vision: continuous innovation and the highest quality. He started by perfecting the galvanic copper plating process to protect mirrors, then developed entire mirror silvering lines, revolutionizing the industry.

In 1974, Bovone introduced the first automatic straight-line beveling machine capable of doubling the processing speed, marking a turning point in glass production. Since then, the company has continued to expand the range with straight-line edgers and plants for laminated glass, fueling a technological leadership that has lasted for decades. Leading this growth is Vittorio Bovone, who takes the lead in the company and carries on his father’s commitment.

Today, Federica Bovone‘s leadership looks to the future with the same determination as always. The third generation at the helm of the company continues in the path of innovation in the service of quality by opening the new headquarters in the United States, enhancing the offer in the stone sector and focusing on increasing automation in stand-alone machines.

A growth path guided by three generations on the tracks of innovation, quality and reliability.
