From their state-of-the-art factory in Cisano Bergamasco, Italy, IMET have been researching, developing, and producing world-leading industrial saws for over 50 years. As a result, they have an incredible 57 different bandsaw machines and 17 circular saws within their range, designed to accommodate every type of manufacturer – from small artisan workshops, steel workers and through to the heavy construction industry.
