Founder
KGS DIAMOND GROUP SA is a family-owned business with strong roots that reach back to 1906 in Lugano/Switzerland, where Giovanni Ferronato founded his business of manufacturing moulded products.
1906
Proud Manufacturers
In 1952, Giovanni passed the baton to his son Natale Ferronato, the father of today’s President and CEO Sandro Ferronato. Under Natale Ferronato, the company successfully initiated the production of patented silicon carbide and aluminium oxide-based abrasives for the grinding and polishing of various hard materials, such as stone and metals.

Innovator
In 1980 Sandro Ferronato, today’s President and CEO, joined the company. Innovations and expansion followed each other in rapid progression, starting with the introduction of flexible diamond abrasives in 1985.

This made KGS DIAMOND what it is today: A reputed manufacturer of patented and innovative flexible diamond abrasives, diamond tools and metallized fabrics.
