History

History Donatoni Macchine traces its roots back to 1959, when Vittorio Donatoni founded Officina Donatoni, a workshop dedicated to the servicing and maintenance of stone processing machinery. Situated in the heart of Verona’s marble district, the company quickly built a reputation for technical excellence and deep industry knowledge.

Over the decades, Donatoni evolved from a small service-oriented workshop into a pioneering manufacturer of advanced stone processing technologies. By combining its intimate understanding of customer needs with a culture of innovation, Donatoni gradually set new benchmarks in the industry.

A major turning point came in 2008, when Giorgio Donatoni redirected the company’s focus toward the production of cutting-edge machines and technologies for marble processing. This strategic decision, coupled with continuous investments in R&D, software development, and automation, propelled the company into a leadership position.

Today, after more than 60 years of experience, Donatoni Macchine stands as a global reference point for innovation in stone cutting and processing. Its brand has become synonymous with quality, service, and advanced technology, with over 1,000 machines installed worldwide, a testament to decades of relentless commitment and customer trust.
