Market Proximity Solutions 

Tailor made solutions for our customers and for our planet

Local requests give us an additional opportunity to design the right sustainable solutions that will take into account geographical and climate peculiarities of every area of interest. Local raw materials, certain industrial processes and different habits characterize many production areas of the ceramic sector. For this reason we provide tailor-made service to obtain required results.

Our R&D, production plants, local laboratories, technical assistance and commercial centers for ceramic business create an interconnected network that favours an infinite flow of knowledge exchange. 

This allows us to study and provide effective solutions, with benefits for both our customers and the planet, thanks to the reduction of transport, packaging as well as of the maximum use of local structures and raw materials.
