Respect for ideas
The European ceramic wall and floor tile industry is a world leader in technological development, design and quality, driven by strong investment in research development and innovation (R&D+i). The industry’s capacity to anticipate, along with its versatility and adaptability, allow it to stand out and position itself globally, with a third of its production exported outside Europe.
The European sector creates synergies of innovation with all members of the ceramics cluster, providing the knowledge and data that allow companies to permanently remain at the forefront of the latest technological advances and design trends.
The main technological developments applied in the ceramics industry originated in Europe. One example is the development of digital ceramic printing technology, which emerged in Spain and represented a paradigm shift in the manufacturing process and the generation of ceramic designs.
