The Sacmi Group is the biggest supplier of production equipment for the ceramic industry with a total turnover of over 1 billion Euro and more than 3.500 employees.
Being the biggest supplier of complete turn key plants for tiles, sanitaryware, tableware, heavy clay and refractories producers, the Sacmi Group started up a new division especially dedicated to the field of advanced materials including technical ceramics. The new division is called "TEAM" which stands for: Technology and Experience for Advanced Materials.
By coordinating the activities of the different companies for complete production lines, "TEAM" offers an additional value to the customers providing a much wider range of delivery scope and services under a unique lead.
It integrates the cumulative know how and expertise, innovative skill and technology of leading companies in the design and construction of ceramic production plants:
• SACMI Imola (material preparation, plant engineering, financing)
• SAMA Weissenstadt (shaping technologies like extrusion, pressure casting, tape casting and automation)
• LAEIS Wecker (material and process development, hydraulic pressing technology)
• RIEDHAMMER, Nürnberg (drying and firing technologies).
Thus, cutting-edge technical ceramic production process synergy – from raw material preparation to shaping and firing with precision quality control at every stage of production – can now be achieved thanks to TEAM by SACMI. Outstanding R&D facilities are at disposal to assist with material development and process optimization.
For complete plants and production lines, the group´s scope of supply covers a wide range of various types of machinery, offering each customer the best technical and economical solution for a given task. For supply of single machines, the individual companies will continue to act independently.
