In the next years the production activities expand with the introduction of sintering production methods. In 1970 Natale Ferronato passes the management responsibility to his wife Maryse Ferronato, who is succeeded in 1980 by Sandro Ferronato, today’s President and CEO. In 1985 the company is renamed to KGS DIAMOND. In the next years a strong international development starts and the company opens sales offices around the world and acquires new production facilities.
