Gnutti Bortolo has been in the Industrial Supply Market since 1937.
The business was born and developed in the highly industrial area of Lumezzane. It was the first tooling supplier of its kind for the local mechanical industry which also deals in diverse areas such as hydraulics, household goods, mouldings, cutlery .

This has allowed Gnutti Bortolo to develop almost one hundred years of experience in supplying metal-working tools, which today represents the company’s core business.

Gnutti Bortolo is a typical example of a small and family owned Italian business; it has reached its 4th generation with success. Thanks to the trust and seriousness which has been given and received from both Customers and Suppliers throughout the years.

The founding value of this business is to zealously serve Customers: for this main reason over the last recent years people at GB have been working hard to specialize in offering services in order to simplify and solve all working problems of Clients.

The implicit goal is to make Customers buying process as simple, quick and easy as possible and to free it from all those factors that often become stressfull and costly.
To reach this goal we fundamentally count on the human resources which make this company what it is today. We firmly believe that qualified personnel, thanks to their skills and training, will bring advice and technical support to our Clients.

Today we stock about 20.000 items in our range which we intend to expand on further to satisfy our Customers needs.
