Perfora is a privately owned company based in Bagnolo, northern Italy. It has annual revenues of about €10 million. The products, which include diamond wire saws and drill rigs specifically designed for dimension stone applications, are distributed through direct sales and local dealers in selected countries around the world.

“Perfora is a leading supplier in this segment, with a strong customer focus and high quality products,” said Bob Fassl, Business Area President of Atlas Copco Mining and Rock Excavation Technique. “We see good growth opportunities through this deal. As part of the Atlas Copco Group, Perfora becomes a unique global supplier of tailor made equipment for dimension stone producers.”
