The
company
Ceramiche Supergres were founded in 1961 in Casalgrande (Reggio Emilia)

Concorde, the second largest Italian ceramic holding company and one of
the leading groups in the sector on an international level.
For Supergres, this means the opportunity to take advantage of a
state-of-the-art research and of large investments, allowing for the
creation of successful products with innovative solutions in technology
and design.

kitchens and bathrooms. Every production range offers tiles in different
shapes and colours, which are always updated and broadened to meet the

The company’s catalogue propose many different styles and solutions to
create unique living atmospheres able to respect and interpret the
personality of those who live them in; timeless creativity and style:
these are Supergres guide lines.
The productive technologies
The main technologies used to create Ceramiche Supergres collections are
porcelain stoneware and white-body monoporous. The former is a mixture
of clays, quartz and feldspars which are mixed and then pressed under
immense pressure in order to obtain the tremendous compactness achieved
by a further firing at 1300°C. Moreover, porcelain stoneware has a low
water absorption level therefore it is not porous and extremely compact
allowing for unrivalled resistance features. White-body monoporous tiles
are today’s best slab to carry out wall coverings; the white paste
derives from highly selected raw materials and fired at 1150° C and it
helps the colours applied on the tiles to stand out, giving a bright and
deep colour effect, which would normally be impossible to achieve using
any other existing technology.
Many Ceramiche Supergres porcelain stoneware collections are Ecolabel
certified: a certification created by the European Union to create
products featuring a productive cycle reducing energy consumption,
wastes and the environmental impact in general. The customers choosing
the Ecolabel products have the guarantee of discerning and eco-friendly
purchasing.
