GUILLET Tools
French toolmanufacturing excellence since 1643
GUILLET has been designing, manufacturing and marketing tools for working stone and other derived materials (concrete) since 1643. This activity was born out of a local need due to the exploitation of quarries at Villebois in the Ain region (01).
Over the centuries, GUILLET has modernised and evolved through generations, adapting to changing markets through a skilful combination of traditional and technological innovations.
GUILLET has its own production workshops, giving it complete control over its manufacturing processes, such as forging, machining (multi-axis numerical controls), heat treatment, brazing, painting, packaging, etc. This extensive machine park, managed by experienced staff, is a major asset for autonomy and responsiveness.
With unique expertise and craftsmanship, 100% made in France, GUILLET is positioned as a leading force in the professional tools market, both nationally and globally.
Three areas of expertise, one commitment to quality
Across these three sectors, we offer thousands of products, designed to meet your every need. Moreover, our sales team and design office are ready to provide personalised guidance and tailor-made solutions, creating custom tools designed just for you.
Today, under the leadership of Cédric and Florent GIREAU, the 13th generation carries forward the company’s enduring values of quality and service. These key words guide the teams in their quest for solid partnerships and new collaborations.
Stone working
Since 1643, Guillet has been designing and crafting stone-working tools, evolving with market demands and technological innovations, and building a strong reputation in France and around the world.
Guillet offers a wide range of tools in forged steel or with highly resistant tungsten carbides, designed for carving, engraving and sculpting, as well as for drilling, chiselling and bush hammering stone.
Whether working with soft, hard, or semi-hard stone—in restoration, fine arts, workshops, or quarries—professionals in the stone industry are sure to find what they need in GUILLET’s extensive range of tools, suitable for use with either a hand or a pneumatic hammer.
