Finishing

A new BMR finishing line for ceramic panels up to 1600x3200 mm in size has been installed at Florim’s factory in Mordano (Bologna).

15% growth in revenues thanks to the stronger sales network and the launch of new machines.

Squaring machine number 1,000 built by BMR has been installed at the facility of Casalgrande Padana.

The new group will reach a 2017 turnover of more than 60 million euros, making it the leading European group in the metal and resin bonded diamond tool market.

Pakistan's largest tile manufacturer is due to start up a new 24,000 sq.m/day plant for the production of porcelain tiles, glazed stoneware and monoporosa in late 2017.

The order comes as the Sacmi Group expands its range of solutions for large-size tile and panel finishing, ensuring flexibility, automation and total quality control.

The innovative finish can be applied to any kind of porcelain tile thanks to a mechanical operation performed on the finished product after firing.

iBRUSH is the new system for applying protective liquid to polished and honed tiles.
