Aquacut says it’s proud to announce its appointment as the exclusive distributor for two Italian industrial machine manufacturers: Ferrari e Cigarini. and Dal Prete Engineering. These strategic partnerships solidify Aquacut’s commitment to providing solutions to businesses in the porcelain, stone, quartz and brick sectors across UK and Ireland.
Through its division, Ferrari & Cigarini UK, Aquacut will market and distribute these machines, offering customers access to technology designed to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and improve production capabilities, says the company. With the addition of Ferrari e Cigarini’s specialist cutting and polishing machines and Dal Prete’s water treatment systems, manufacturers in these industries will benefit from improved processing techniques, environmentally friendly operations and significantly reduced production costs, says the company.
Ferrari e Cigarini: precision cutting and polishing machines
Ferrari e Cigarini is known for its design and production of machinery for cutting and polishing porcelain, stone, quartz and bricks. Its machines enable manufacturers to process raw materials into precision-cut products suitable for architectural and decorative applications, says the company. With a strong emphasis on automation and efficiency, Ferrari e Cigarini machines are widely used in the production of building finishes such as brick, tiles, steps, skirting boards, and mosaics.
Says the company: “One of the key advantages of Ferrari e Cigarini’s brick processing machines is its ability to produce high volumes of brick slips and pistols, including those with kerfs. These precision-cut bricks are widely used in interior and exterior construction, providing architects and designers with the flexibility to create durable finishes.
“The ability to produce such materials in-house allows manufacturers to reduce costs, improve lead times, and maintain quality control, all while responding to the increasing demand for sustainable building solutions. Ferrari e Cigarini’s machinery is designed to meet the needs of manufacturers looking to enhance their production capabilities while enhancing the quality of their end products, says the company. It adds: “Whether processing natural stone, ceramic tiles, or bricks, these machines ensure consistent results, making them a valuable addition to any production facility.”
Dal Prete: sustainable water treatment solutions
In addition to cutting and polishing machines, Aquacut also brings Dal Prete’s water treatment plants to the UK and Ireland market. Dal Prete is described by the company to be a pioneer in developing systems that enable operators to recycle water used in stone, brick, ceramic and quartz processing. Its solutions are said to reduce the demand for mains water, lowering operational costs while supporting environmental sustainability.
Water is a crucial resource in the processing of stone, brick and ceramic materials, playing a vital role in cooling and dust suppression. However, without an efficient recycling system in place, companies face high water consumption rates and increased disposal costs.
Dal Prete’s water treatment facilities address this issue by filtering and reusing water, cutting waste and improving sustainability, says the company. It adds: “Beyond water conservation, these systems offer additional benefits such as reduced machine wear and extended lifespan of consumables. Clean, recycled water ensures that machinery remains free of abrasive residues that can cause premature damage, leading to lower maintenance costs and greater operational efficiency.
As environmental regulations become stricter, Dal Prete’s water treatment plants provide manufacturers from many sectors with a viable solution to remain compliant while also illustrating their commitment to environmental husbandry and improving their bottom line.”
A strategic advantage for UK and Irish manufacturers
By securing exclusive distribution rights for Ferrari e Cigarini and Dal Prete, Aquacut is reinforcing its position as a key player in the industrial machinery sector, says the company. This partnership is said to allow manufacturers in the UK and Ireland to access equipment that not only enhances productivity but also aligns with modern sustainability goals.
For businesses operating in the porcelain, quartz, stone, and brick industries, the integration of Ferrari e Cigarini’s cutting and polishing machinery with Dal Prete’s water treatment solutions represent a significant opportunity, says the company. Together, these technologies are said to enable manufacturers to streamline their production processes while reducing their environmental footprint.
With rising demand for high-quality building materials and increased pressure to adopt sustainable practices, this collaboration provides a competitive edge to those looking to invest in long-term efficiency and cost reduction, says Aquacut. It adds: “Aquacut’s own fabrication division uses industrial machines from Ferrari e Cigarini and Dal Prete so, Aquacut’s expertise in industrial machinery, coupled with its commitment to customer service, ensures clients receive the best possible solutions for their specific needs.
“The company’s dedicated team will provide comprehensive support, from initial consultation and machine selection to installation, training, and after-sales service. By offering a complete package, Aquacut aims to help businesses maximise the benefits of their new machinery and achieve outstanding production results.”
Meeting the challenges of a changing industry
The building materials industry is evolving, with increased focus on precision, efficiency, and sustainability. Ferrari e Cigarini and Dal Prete are at the forefront of these changes, to meet the needs of manufacturers worldwide, says the company.
Their technology is said by Aquacut to ensure businesses can meet the demands of architects, designers, and construction professionals who require quality finishes and environmentally responsible production methods. Aquacut says its partnership with these two “industry leaders” marks a step forward for manufacturers in the UK and Ireland.
By integrating Ferrari e Cigarini’s cutting technology with Dal Prete’s water treatment solutions, businesses can achieve new levels of efficiency and sustainability. Whether producing intricate stone tiles, large-format porcelain slabs, worktops or precision-cut bricks, manufacturers will benefit from reduced waste, lower operational costs, and improved product quality, says the company.
A future-focused partnership
As Aquacut embarks on this new chapter, its focus remains on delivering cutting-edge technology to the UK and Irish markets, says the company. It adds: “With Ferrari e Cigarini and Dal Prete as partners, Aquacut is well-positioned to support manufacturers in meeting the challenges of today’s industry while preparing for the future. The ferrariecigariniuk.co.uk division will serve as the central hub for these solutions, providing customers with product information, guidance, and access to these world-class machines. By offering equipment alongside unparalleled customer support, Aquacut is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of industrial processing for porcelain, quartz, stone, and brick materials.”
With sustainability, efficiency, and precision at the heart of its mission, Aquacut’s partnership with Ferrari e Cigarini and Dal Prete represents a major advancement for the industry, says the company. Manufacturers looking to enhance their operations, reduce costs, and meet growing environmental standards now have a trusted partner to help them achieve their goals.
