Piastrelle Ceramics

Piastrelle is a generic Italian term meaning 'tiles'. In the context of the ceramic industry, it refers to high-quality floor and wall coverings typically originating from Italy's famous ceramics district in Sassuolo. These products are known worldwide for their sophisticated design, durability, and innovation in materials.

While the term covers many manufacturers, the industry is pioneered by major Italian groups. The manufacturing process often takes place in Italy to maintain the 'Made in Italy' prestige, though some large conglomerates have established production facilities in other parts of Europe, the USA, and Asia to serve global markets more efficiently. Ownership of these brands is usually held by large industrial groups specializing in building materials.
