Gmm Group acquires KCM

Gmm Group strengthens its position in the industrial maintenance services sector.

Gmm Group, part of the Swedish group Axel Johnson International, has announced the acquisition of KCM, a company specialising in the maintenance and regeneration of equipment and components used in grinding and polishing processes for the ceramic industry.

The acquisition enables the Fiorano Modenese-based group to broaden its industrial service offering by integrating KCM’s know-how and technical expertise.

“This acquisition is aligned with our industrial plan to expand our presence in the ceramic industry by extending our maintenance services to other production processes,” said Gmm Group’s CEO Luca Milani. “Our goal is to support customers by reducing unplanned downtime and improving energy efficiency through synergies between our group companies.”

Founded in 2014, KCM has earned a solid reputation over the years, thanks to its strong customer focus and the expertise of its team.

“We would like to thank our employees, customers and suppliers, whose support has enabled the company to grow over the years,” commented KCM founders Michele Caliendo and Alessandro Muti. “We’re confident that becoming part of the Gmm Group will open up new opportunities for growth and consolidation within the ceramic sector.”

KCM will begin the integration process by relocating to the Gmm Group headquarters in Fiorano Modenese, retaining its entire workforce and ensuring continued operations and customer service.​​​​​​​
