In November 2004 Gimap bought the “FUMASI” mark for fabrication and commercialization of all Fumasi products and planning to enlarge on this way the wide range of items already in production at Gimap and to care about the distribution combining all that in sales on hardware, tools and DIY markets.

Gimap is an approved mark in hand tools production. Its story begins immediately after war when Mario Gianola, an iron artisan from Premana, under a general process of development of the village, opens his own small workshop for production of scissors.

Due to its common desire to do, typical for that period, and to the strong and traditional experience, Premana is considered the “Blade capital”, in ancient times known for its weapons and swords, and for its knives and scissors of any use from the beginning of the 20th century.

It is the search for products distinguishing and quality of the production that are the guiding line of Gimap through the years in its industrial development: from small workshop in fifties to the modern organization of nowadays headed by the founder’s sons, brothers Biagio and Vittorino.

After a progressive industrial upsurge of 70’ with inculcation of different automatic techniques into the process of the production, we arrived to the marketing, to the technical research of different materials, ultra exclusive design and innovative system of products packing. Another advantage of Gimap on the world market is the possibility of producing high quantities in a very short time.

Above that, its always well-stocked warehouse allows them to fill the orders almost in real-time (just the time needed for transport…). All that is GIMAP. A viable reality of European panorama of companies manufacturing cutting items, aimed at the constant conquest of new markets, where Gimap is one of the leaders with its 70% of production destined exclusively to the export.
