The company was founded in 1946 by Mr. Antonio Pinacho, in
Oiartzun (Guipúzcoa) who originated and developed the
Pinacho lathe. The Pinacho conventional lathes were
technologically very advanced for their time and quickly
developed into a quality product in a very short time, and
represented a large part of the international market before
moving to Monzón (Huesca) in 1961. The company moved again
to larger purpose built premises in Castejón del Puente (Huesca)
in 1985 where the production of the Pinacho lathes continue
to this day.
Juan Antonio and Isaac Pinacho, after receiving a complete
technical and practical training in all aspects of the
business by their father, took over the running of company
in 1990, and were quickly joined by their sisters Yolanda
and Dina Pinacho continuing the family tradition in the
business.
A continuous modernization in the design of our machines has
allowed us to obtain a high technological level and to
create a world-wide image of recognized quality and
competitiveness.
