Our History
Exagon Group is the result of a never-ending adventure which began in the mid-twentieth century by Aldo Tonna (1908-2005), an Italian pioneer of both industrial and telecommunication-electronics as well as an innovator in post-war World.
Aldo Tonna founded the F.I.M.E.R. (Fabbricazioni Industriali Elettriche Meccaniche e Radio) in 1950 in Italy with the goal of producing high-quality industrial electronic devices as well as large-scale telecommunication systems. The company manufactured until the 1970s, when the firm was officially relocated to West Germany. Largely self-taught, Aldo Tonna's extensive practical experience in the electronic development of telecommunications during the pre-war and post-war periods enabled him to develop innovative technological strategies and solutions, positioning him as a leading expert in the industry, registering more than 120 patents at world level in the fields of telecommunications, industrial automation and electrical engineering.
Roberto Tonna (1933-2003) decided to carry on his father's business by establishing Gleichen Industries AG, a West German company focused on technological development of industrial electronics, which also included the implementation of a mass-automation program used (on a large scale) in many European industries. Building on his father's legacy of industrial culture, Roberto was able to develop important elements of innovation within the company. He gradually led it to a leading position in the sector with the introduction of the first digital data acquisition and conditioning systems in continuous line processes.
Fabrizio Tonna (1964-), the last industrial heir, followed his father's footsteps by diversifying Gleichen Industries' know-how, driven by an unprecedented spirit of innovation and global market challenge. In 2002, Fabrizio established Chemetal Nuclear Inc., a Pennsylvania-based company specialising in the design and development of electronic instrumentation for radio counting and scintillation. By merging the established expertise of Gleichen Industries with the patent assets of Chemetal Nuclear, Fabrizio led the very foundation of Exagon Industries Ltd in 2016.
Mission and Vision
Through cutting-edge electronic engineering powered by physical artificial general intelligence and quantum electronics, our vision encloses the development of a better world and the consequent improvement of industrial and technological performances, which we see as the real revolution of the human paradigm. This innovation as a whole is inevitably linked to the Exagon Open System (EOS) concept and the multidisciplinary interaction of various types of industries.
The main goal of the EOS concept consists of expanding the proprietary know-how that has been already developed in a transformative and revolutionary business platform that will enhance the benefits of human existence and its surrounding environment.
