Panaria Ceramics
THE MISSION
In the 30 years that Panaria Ceramica has been operating, the
company has established a firm position as one of the most
technologically advanced businesses in its sector. Its enormous product
range is based on high-quality, natural materials and reflects a strong
historic and cultural heritage, inspired by landscapes and flavours in
which tradition and innovation are an important part of daily life.
We offer the quality and excellence of a leading company in the
design and production of ceramic floor and wall tiles for the building
sector.
THE HISTORY OF PANARIA CERAMICA
The history of Panaria Ceramica, one of the world's leading ceramic
tile manufacturers, is closely linked to the development of the
world-famous Sassuolo industrial area in northern Italy, where the
company is based. Panaria has always stood out for its ability to
combine the ancient art of ceramic with the production of
state-of-the-art floor and wall tiles.
Ever since it was founded, Panaria Ceramica has continued to expand
in terms of both production and employment. This growth is reflected
both in the industrial facility at Finale Emilia, established in 1974,
and in the new technological facility at Cavola di Toano, which in the
space of just a few years has become a centre for technological
excellence and a hub of development in the mountain region of the
province of Reggio Emilia. Recent acquisitions of other Italian and
European companies testify to Panaria Ceramica�s focus on global
competition while remaining firmly rooted in its local traditions and
entrepreneurial background.
