The foundation of Gualini dates back to the 1800s. In 1970 Cav. Pietro Gualini developed the business into an innovative metalworking company, which soon expanded its activities from the production of metal frames to curtain walls.

Gualini quickly became a prestigious name in building envelopes in Italy and around the World.

FROM YESTERDAY TO TODAY

A process of continuous research, the professionalism of the workers and a renewed managerial vision have led to the original company's transformation into a company endowed with an articulated organisational model and an ambitious and concrete business plan.

This evolutionary process has been completed with our entry into the COSTIM Group.

The combination of the founding values of the family business and an advanced management approach have allowed Gualini to further establish itself in the market and to collaborate with the best architectural firms around the world.
