Philosophy
We have a strong passion for wood products and firmly believe that windows, chairs, furniture, and all the other wooden items in our homes should be enhanced and protected with the utmost care.
That is precisely why we have combined all our knowledge and expertise to develop a range of coating systems that we can confidently say are among the best that today’s technology has to offer.
We always put our customers first, taking into account their needs and habits, as well as the quality they aim to offer. This is what motivates us to continually research, design and manufacture what we consider to be the ‘ideal solution’ for each specific context. We achieve this by using our expertise and knowledge to engineer systems, lines and machines tailored to the requirements of those who have placed their trust in us.
What’s more, we have always believed that designing systems that are reliable and consistently deliver quality results on schedule and in the manner required by users is simply not enough. Now, more than ever, it is crucial that we make sustainability and energy efficiency our top priorities in every area, while also reducing our environmental impact.
Story
2009
CML Finishing was established in 2009 by a team of dedicated and passionate professionals with over thirty years of experience in the coating industry.
From its inception, the company has sought to become the partner of choice for the most demanding customers – those who are not satisfied with ‘standard’ systems and who only want the very best tailor-made solutions, designed to meet their specific requirements and resolve issues that cannot be tackled by existing standard machines on the market.
Initially operating in various sectors, including the finishing of different materials, the company then began to focus on processing wood and wood-derived materials. Since then, it has become increasingly specialised in designing and manufacturing coating systems for wooden door and window frames.
2018
Unsurprisingly, at the 2018 Xylexpo exhibition, the ‘Ghost’ coating robot for doors and windows was chosen as the overall winner of the ‘XIA Awards - XYLEXPO INNOVATION AWARDS’ in the ‘surface finishing’ category by a jury panel of independent experts, in recognition of its ground-breaking features.
2020
Launched in 2020, the ‘Ghost_X’ is a coating robot that has been completely redesigned and equipped with enhanced software technology, introducing new functions and enabling more efficient management. This innovative solution has swiftly gained popularity across the globe, particularly for the finishing of hanging elements, such as doors, windows and frames, as well as wood panels for cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction.
2025
On 16 June 2025, Marval – an industrial start-up operating in the insulating glass sector and established by two leading companies in the instrumental mechanics industry, i.e. G Technologies Group and Giardina Group, (the latter of which is a world leader in the finishing industry) – acquired the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell CML Finishing coating systems. This initiative is set to open up international markets to a new player that positions itself as a supplier of integrated systems for a specific segment in the production cycle of door and window frames (finishing and insulating glass units).
This prestigious brand has entered a new chapter in its history by joining an industrial group with a wealth of experience in design, entrepreneurship and manufacturing, and which currently operates in over 70 countries worldwide.
