40 Tile International 2/2018 At its Annual General Meeting on 6 June, Confindustria Ceramica pre- sented the results of its 2017 Sta- tistical Surveys covering the san- itaryware, tableware, refractory materials and tile segments of the Italian ceramic industry. The 145 ceramic tile manufactur- ers operating in Italy produced a total of 422 million sq.m of ceramic tiles (+1.6%) in 2017. They sold 83.7 million sq.m (+1.1%) of these in Ita- ly, and the remaining 338.2 million sq.m (+1.9%) on export markets. Despite the year-on-year increase, sales in Italy were still less than half of their pre-crisis levels. The total revenues of ceramic manufacturers operating in Italy reached 5.5 billion euros (+2.4%), of which 4.7 billion euros (+2.5%) were generated by exports, and 842 million euros by sales in Italy. Investments – primarily in Industry 4.0, technologies for the produc- tion of large formats and produc- tion plant upgrades – increased for the fourth year running, to 514.9 million euros (+28.6% on 2016; 1.8 billion over the five-year period), amounting to 9.3% of annual rev- enues, which is a higher level than in any other manufacturing indus- try in Italy. Meanwhile, 15 foreign-regis- tered companies, controlled by 8 Italian ceramic manufactur- ing groups, produced 87 million sq.m of tiles (+0.8%), generating total revenues of 862.1 million eu- ros (+0.8%), made up of 469.9 mil- lion euros of sales on the European market (-0.9%; 54.5% of total revenues) and 392.2 million euros of sales on the North American markets (+2.9%). 79.9% of total revenues were generated by sales within the country of production.

in 2017, while a more vigor-ous upturn is expected in the United States. As for the newer markets, there's no doubt that the brightest prospects are to be seen in the Gulf states, fol-lowed by Eastern Europe."

In keeping with its annual tra-dition, TILE INTERNATIONAL has collected the 2017 reve-nues of Italy's biggest ceram-ic manufacturers, in order to compile a league table of ex-cellence. As usual, we start off with the results of Mohawk In-dustries Inc., but keep them separate from the league ta-ble. Since its acquisition of Marazzi Group in 2013, the Mohawk Group has been the world's largest ceramic tile manufacturer, and acquired a 100% stake in Emilceramica in 2017, also through Marazzi.Let's take a look at the 2017

league table of revenues of It-aly's biggest manufacturers.

There's no change in the rankings of Italy's top six tile manufacturing groups with revenues of over 200 million euros. Although we don't have access even to its 2016 data, Concorde Group undoubtedly takes first place, having already reached revenues of 726.9 million euros in 2015.

Iris Ceramica Group re-mains in second place, with turnover of 590 million euros in 2017 (+11.3% on the pre-vious year).

Finfloor Group takes third place, with consolidated revenues of 424.8 million eu-ros (+4.4%).

Panariagroup, a stock-mar-ket-listed company with op-erations in the US market,

which accounted for 35% of the group's to-tal revenues in 2017, achieved its highest per-formance with its Eu-ropean Business Units (Italy +6.0% and Portu-gal +9.6%). Fifth place goes to Casalgrande Padana, which manu-factures exclusively in It-aly and generated rev-enues of 265.1 million euros in 2017 (-4.8%).

Sixth place goes to Co-operativa Cerami-ca d'Imola, which also manufactures exclu-sively in Italy and ended the year with revenues of 244.8 million euros, down slightly on the pre-vious year.

In the middle order, made up of compa-nies with revenues of

In April 1987 he joined Cooperativa Ceramica d'Imola as Plant Manager at the Borgo Tossignano faci-lity. In June 1990 he joined Sacmi Imo-la as Sales Director, a role he held un-til November 1994, when he moved to Ceramiche La Faenza as General Ma-nager. 10 years later, in May 2005, he was appointed General Manager of Co-operativa Ceramica d'Imola. In July 2006 he started his career as an entre-preneur by founding Gigacer SpA, whe-re he has been Chairman of the Board of Directors since the company's for-mation.

of 25.7% in 2016, Rondine Group continues to record consistently strong perfor-mance, and now generates revenues in excess of 110 million euros.

The revenues of Piemme and Gruppo Romani re-mained stable in 2017, as did their respective posi-tions in the rankings.

Of the smaller companies, with revenues of less than 100 million euros in 2017, Laminam is the star per-former, with year-on-year turnover growth of 36.0% and 25.0% in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Ceramica Fondovalle was another strong performer, with year-on-year turnover growth of 23.9% in 2016, fol-lowed by a further 9.1% in 2017.

Polis also deserves cred-it, having added a further 1.8% to the outstanding growth it achieved in 2016 (+21% on 2015).

Italcer, the Group head-ed by Graziano Verdi, ac-quired La Fabbrica in 2017 (with 2016 revenues of 41.9 million euros) and generat-ed consolidated turnover of 82.2 million euros (+48.7% on the previous year) in conjunction with AVA and Elios Ceramica.

With revenues of 168.5 million euros in 2017, Del Conca overtakes the Ricchetti Group, which reported revenues of 162.2 millions euros, down 1.8% on 2016. Gresmalt reported the biggest increase in turn-over in 2017, with a year-on-year rise of 12.8%.

ABK Group also put in a strong performance, with a year-on-year increase of 5.8%. ABK Group also re-cently signed an agree-ment with Capital For Pro-gress 2 (CFP 2), aimed at floating the company on the AIM Italia market of the Italian Stock Exchange by the end of January 2019.

LATEST NEW:QUATTROR ACQUIRES CONTROL OF CERAMICHE RICCHETTI

QuattroR will set up a NewCo to acquire the controlling stake owned by the Zannoni family. New investments of up to 40 million euros are plan-ned. The fund QuattroR, an asset management company whose investees in-clude Cdp, Inail, Inarcassa and Cassa Forense, is set to acquire control of Ceramiche Ricchetti, a company founded in 1960 and still indirectly con-trolled by the Zannoni family with a total share of 62.4%. Andrea Moran-te, chairman of QuattroR, believes it is a solid company with good turna-round potential.After setting the share price at 0.215 euros, the decision was taken to set up a NewCo to acquire the controlling stake and the receivables deriving from loans from shareholders and related parties. The NewCo will be controlled by QuattroR, while Fincisa and Ceramiche Industriali di Sassuolo e Fiorano will co-invest while maintaining an indi-rect minority stake in Ceramiche Ricchetti. Under the terms of the agreement, the parties undertake to invest up to 40.45 million euros in the company through the NewCo “according to its performance and the needs of the new business plan currently under preparation”. The current mana-gement will stay on, including CEO Maurizio Piglione and ge-neral manager Matteo Davoli, who will be given the option to co-invest in the company throu-gh an incentive plan.

CONFINDUSTRIA CERAMICA'S OTHER STATISTICAL SURVEYS

At its annual general meeting on 6 June, Con-findustria Ceramica also presented the results of its Statistical Surveys covering the ceramic sanitaryware, tableware and refractory mate-rials sectors.

2017 was a good year for Italy's ceramic sa-nitaryware sector, whose 33 companies (30 of which are based in the Civita Castellana cluster) reported growth in both production and revenues (353.3 million euros) of 4.5% and 6.1% respectively, while also increasing their exports, which accounted for 45% of their total turnover. Employment levels in the sector remained stable.

Italy's 34 manufacturers of refractory ma-terials reported total revenues of over 350 million euros, in line with 2016. Sales rose slightly in Italy (+1.1%), fell in the Europe-an Union (-12.4%) and saw a 10.4% increa-se in the rest of the world. Although revenues were in line with the previous year, volumes sold were down slightly (-3.7%).

The US market accounted for 35% of overall revenues.The Group continued its programme of investment in innovation over the course of 2017. The most substantial investment went into the Portuguese Business Unit, with the installation of a complete new line for the production of traditional large-format porcelain tile at the Aveiro plant. The Italian Business Unit continued to invest in its Fiorano Modenese plant, with the installation of new finishing lines to enable the company to extend its offering of laminated porcelain tile. A good share of the investments made in the Group’s Italian plants went into equipment whose technical features are fully in line with Industry 4.0 standards.Further investments are scheduled over the course of 2018, some of which will go into implementing interconnectivity. The American Business Unit also made investments in its Lawrenceburg site, most of which were channelled into setting up a new research laboratory tasked with developing new product ranges.
