History

Founded in 1994, Gefond represents leading suppliers in the diecasting industry and distributes technologically advanced equipment for light alloy foundries working mainly for the automotive industry.

In 2016, after closely following the family business, Tiziana Tronci, daughter of owner and founder Pierluigi Tronci, actively joined the company. After many years of international experience in communication and marketing in other sectors, she took on the role of board member and new product development manager.

2018 saw the start of the development of the predictive maintenance software Perpetuo developed by Gefond in collaboration with T4SM - Tools for Smart Minds, a leading company in the creation of predictive maintenance algorithms for over 20 years in other industries.

In 2020, it acquired the patent and know-how from Greenbox on temperature control units and started its own production with HPDC by Gefond to be closer and more flexible to customer needs.
