Can you explain your history with Thibaut machines?

Thibaut has been a supplier for Tuytelaers for many generations. We started to invest in Thibaut machines for producing monuments in the beginning and we found a great partnership in Thibaut. Our company grew bigger and so did Thibaut, we found each other in this collaboration. Actually we have Bridge Saw, CNC working center, Wire saw, Polishing machine from Thibaut.

Thibaut always thinks with us to make the best machine available to do the job it’s designed for. We appreciate the interaction between Thibaut and Tuytelaers. Thibaut is always ready to help us, the after-sale is very good and we think that’s a very positive point.

What are your sectors of activity? Who are your customers?

We started with monuments and grew into the building sector. We do a lot of wholesale but we also have a nice and big showroom for private sales. You can find everything you can imagine in natural stone, composite, quarzites and ceramics. Quality is always the main target for Tuytelaers, that’s why we produce kitchentops at small quantity to inspect our marbles and quarzites we buy directly from the quary.

For the monuments we still produce more than 5000 pieces a year. We cut the big granite blocks in the desired slab thickness, then we polish the material and cut it to custom made monuments. In all this process we use the Thibaut machinery.
