Construal was the first Portuguese company to build bridge-type cutting machines. It was founded in 1956 in Pêro Pinheiro, Sintra, one of the largest European centers for ornamental stone processing.

Founded by four experienced professionals from the quarrying industry, Construal has always focused on continuously adapting to new technologies and market demands. This vision has been the foundation of the trust customers have placed in the company for over six decades.
