TYROLIT is one of the world’s leading suppliers of innovative solutions in grinding, dressing, cutting, sawing, drilling and polishing. The family-owned company, founded in 1919 and a member of the Swarovski Group, is based in Schwaz, Austria, and in 2013 had a turnover of EUR 562 million, with over 4,600 employees at 29 production units.
Tyrolit Vincent Srl, the Italian branch, is the world-wide divisional headquarters for the stone, glass and ceramics division and is one of the main production sites for this division.
The company has its head-quarters and production facility in Thiene, a main storehouse in Malo , a ware-house and sales office in Settimo di Pescantina and in Sassuolo to serve the local stone and ceramic districts. In 2013 it had a turnover of EUR 47 million with an average of 201 employees.
EN ISO 9001:2008 certifies the formal seal of approval for a management structure, always based on consistent quality and whose standards have always been respected in every department of the production process, from designing to post-sales assistance.
Tyrolit’s responsibility towards the environment is evidenced with its achievement of the environmental certification EN ISO 14001:2004. This is a further confirmation of Tyrolit’s absolute commitment to producing high quality tools using materials and production processes safeguarding both the natural environment and working conditions.
An additional important step for the company will be taken within the year end with the official adoption of the Organizational Model that complies with D.L. 231/2001.
All projects are developed in Thiene by the R&D department and carefully followed by the technical and marketing team. The local production, which was recently reorganized to recover competitiveness, is presently focusing and investing in the production of high tech tools for the grinding and drilling of glass, stone and ceramic industries.
The product range for the glass industry is currently the most comprehensive on the market. We provide diamond tools for the processing of architectural glass, furniture glass, household appliance, automotive and optic glass. Tyrolit produces peripheral wheels and core drills for the technical glass industry; cup wheels, peripheral wheels, CNC tools and core drills for the flat glass industry; saw blades, grinding plates and engraving tools for the crystal glass industry; crown wheels, edging wheels and pellets for the optical industry.In collaboration with machine manufacturers, Tyrolit is constantly developing new technological systems. An example of this cooperation is a project for tools dedicated to the automotive industry initiated in 2012 that led to the development of a high-speed grinding wheel able to fulfill the grinding capacity of the high speed machines available on the market 100 per cent.













Tyrolit products available for the automotive industry include various diameter grinding wheels with different specifications able to cover all automotive grinding applications and machine speeds on windshields, side windows, backlites and sunroofs and countersink drills.
The specific developed alloys and diamonds grant low dressing frequency and minimum start-up time with a perfect edge from the first piece; the already mentioned high processing speed can be reached after very few pieces for an overall increased productivity.
The standard supplied grinding wheel has a diamond layer with a thickness up to 7 millimeters and it can be re-profiled and used several times.

TYROLIT launches HALO, a revolutionary product for the automotive industry
In order to better promote this outstanding product in the market, Tyrolit is now introducing a further development in order to overcome some marketing and logistic disadvantages.
As reported by Franco Di Nardo, product manager for glass tools: “As often happens, the activities that are destined to leave a mark in one’s life or in business development arise from direct market experience. In this case the problem of not being structured as the market would demand with local service centers seemed like a problem with no simple solution that was limiting the spreading of our high-performance product at a global level without realizing a large investment.”
“This awareness and daily life discussions and problems have shown us the path to follow. The simple, effective and decisive idea came to light during the many discussions related to new possible customers logistically located in different areas from the service center or in relation to difficulties arising from the complex logistics that affect this re-profiling process. With this in mind, in mid-2013 a clear idea was developed and a project started. As a result we now have the new HALO single use grinding ring that we will present at glasstec in October.”
With the HALO product line, Tyrolit defines a new concept for the edge grinding of automotive glass.
The design of a wheel-ring  that does not need to be re-profiled offers numerous advantages and added value to customers compared to a traditional wheel that is re-profiled several times.
The new tool will be launched at glasstec and for this occasion Tyrolit has invited customers of the automotive glass industry from all over the world to find out about this new product.

BENEFITS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR THE HALO PRODUCT LINE
The tool is used only once, with the goal of obtaining the same performance (qualitative and lifetime) that are obtained with the “first application” of a standard multi-use grinding wheel.
We highlight the first application that it is the one that offers the best work-ing conditions with the tool back to the maximum diameter, the groove well centered with precise geometry as per drawings.
Customers are now in the position to buy a wheel that is immediately ready for use and not moved several times between machine, warehouse and supplier for redressing, and which will remain useable several months from purchase.
An immediately evident advantage is that of reduced financial investment and easier logistics management.
Other more specific advantages, less obvious but very important, which lead to increased productivity during a workday, are reported in the table above.
