Hugo Gonçalves is 46 years old and, since 2014 (the year of its foundation), he has been the director of HMGLASS, a company that manufactures and distributes machines and tools for glass processing.
Headquartered in Santa Maria de Feira, the company has chosen to offer the Portuguese market a complete range of machines covering almost all glass processing; to do so, it has carefully selected specific partners, each a leader in its field.
By sharing a philosophy of quality and attentive service with its partners, HMGLASS today enjoys great national success and is considered a reference in Portugal for glass processing.
Schiatti for glass grinding
HMGLASS tells us that they chose Schiatti Angelo not only for the quality of the machinery but also for providing an after-sales service that satisfies the customer and builds an important trust at the basis of an ongoing business relationship, oriented towards the future.
We are also pleased to learn that we have made an outstanding contribution to the growth of HMGLASS, covering an important market niche in Portugal as well.
One of the secrets of a good partnership
In choosing Schiatti as a partner, in addition to the quality of machines and service, other, no less important reasons also played a role. Hugo says: "Over the years we have built up friendships with the Schiatti staff, creating a working environment in which it is pleasant to operate. There is mutual trust, kindness and attention to each other and this is important both from a human point of view and as a facilitating factor for every business transaction."
A case of success
Of all the business transactions that have been successful thanks to the synergy between SCHIATTI AND HMGLASS, Hugo points in particular to 'the recent installation of the FPS20RS straight-line flat grinding machine at VIDRALGAR, a company that showed great confidence in us by even purchasing its sixth SCHIATTI machine'!
Towards the future
Despite a sometimes unstable national market, the perfect structure of the synergy between SCHIATTI AND HMGLASS proves that 'with quality and integrity you can overcome any difficulty', which is why we look forward to a future at least as successful as the past and present.
