Kerama Marazzi renews its partnership with SACMI in the sanitaryware field

Direct investment in the industry launched successfully, latest-generation Riedhammer kiln recently tested at the new facility in Orël: the first steps towards the brand's full-blown entry into the high-end sanitaryware market
 

A leading player on Russia’s tile market, Kerama Marazzi has cemented its decision to enter the sanitaryware market by making some key investments. To do so, it’s placed its trust in the quality that comes from working with SACMI, already Kerama Marazzi’s main partner in its Russia-based tile operations.
Just recently, in fact, a new Riedhammer HWS 9/500/140 Pulse Firing kiln, sized to handle an output rate of 378 pieces/cycle, was tested at the new plant. The production mix mainly consists of large pieces, underscoring Kerama Marazzi's decision to focus on the high end market while taking advantage of its excellent reputation in the tile sector.
Both Vitreous China WCs and Fine Fire Clay designer washbasins are included in the product range. A carefully thought-out kiln configuration guarantees outstanding quality: 26 burners – 19 in the lower section of the kiln and 7 in the upper section – ensure maximum temperature homogeneity inside the firing chamber even when individual cars are unevenly loaded.
Following this initial investment, Kerama Marazzi will soon expand the factory further to meet strong demand on the Russian market. In short: SACMI is strengthening a long-standing partnership that spans multiple ceramic businesses and the Orël facility is set to become the new barycentre of the Marazzi Group's global sanitaryware development prospects.
