About us

I’ve told myself many times that Dad knew well what he was doing. When I was five, I watched him build houses, water supplies, and other projects. When he received notice from his bankrupting company, he did not go home. He bought its premises and started his own business. You can think it was a gamble. And you’re right. But he who does not step forward steps back. Delivery of the first Porsfeld splitter spare parts changed the life of our family. Since then, we started to manufacture and supply stone splitting machines and all required accessories. Thanks to long-term cooperation with quarries and continuous innovation, GESTRA has become a world leader in the production of a wide range of efficiently operating, hard stone splitting machines.

Gestra manipulators

The splitters for building stone and large blocks are equipped with unique manipulators. We have designed them to save time, increase productivity and to make the operator’s work easier. We have been producing them since 1996 and for their handling power and kinematics they have no competition across the world. Their designer is the founder of the company. The splitters that are equipped with them show a significantly higher performance. Production may rise by more than 100%.
