History

In the early 2000s Giuseppe Capobianco develops a passion for modelmaking and starts manufacturing his first models out of his home’s garage. Merchant ships, galleons, sailing boats: everything is handmade carving wood.

Giuseppe sells his first models and starts investing in modern technologies acquiring his first 3D printer.

The team expands and puts hard work and dedication into creating a product worthy of the “Made in Italy” standard. The demand increases, and the projects become more ambitious: the first model equipped with automated and illuminated elements is sold.

The workshop is becoming too small; the team needs new and bigger spaces to continue growing: in 2012 Elisabetta Fantasia with Giuseppe by her side founds Gmodel srl, an establishment with the purpose to amaze and that aims at perfection in every detail.

In 2016 the factory moves to its present location: over one thousand sqm, where ideas roam freely. Concurrently the Model Maker Group brand is born, a new company identity set to become an industry leader.

In 2019 the company’s processes begin a reengineering phase, furthermore a second production site is open. At this new location, the first 5 -axis CNC centre for milling is installed, elevating the quality of the projects thanks to millimetric accuracy of the new machinery.

Europe, America, Australia and the Middle East: the company has reached every destination and offers support at every nautical event. There is an MMG model anywhere around the globe, and somewhere in the world there is a ship owner looking at his miniature yacht, imagining their next adventures.
