In 1972, Tongiani was founded in Massa as the fruit of the joint experience
of Ottavio and Novello Tongiani who started manufacturing
marble-processing equipment in the early 1900s. The first years were spent designing and manufacturing small stone-processing machinery that was mainly sold to small-scale local workshops.

In the 1980s, following an extensive expansion on the foreign markets, a full range of stone-processing machinery was designed. While growing, the company upgraded the organizational structure it can now rely on. It is through such international expansion into the 1990s, with lots of full plants installed, that the company successfully accomplished lots of technological advancements and laid firm foundations for its business.


Nowadays, ASTEC Tongiani is synonym with quality and technical and technological innovation in the building of full wastewater-processing plants, sludge dehydration plants and stone-quarrying and –processing plants which are supplied on a ‘turnkey’ basis.
