Vendors: Marazzi

Marazzi was established in 1935 in Sassuolo. Though its roots go back to the first era of Italian business enterprise, Marazzi began with a highly innovative entrepreneurial vision based on management quality, technological innovation, research, constant growth and internationalization.

The Marazzi Group is one of the principal tile manufacturers in the world and is the leading tile producer in Europe, with factories in Italy, Spain, and France. The group also has a significant and growing presence in the United States with American Marazzi Tile and Monarch, and will soon set up operation in Russia.

Technological and aesthetic research, design, quality, and service are the key points of Marazzi’s strategy and operation. Over the years, the company has become increasingly oriented toward the market, customers, and professionals. The Marazzi Group responds to these diverse expectations through the Marazzi Tecnica division, which offers distributors, builders, architects and designers a complete service of design, documentation, and consultancy for the choice and installation of Marazzi tile.

Marazzi offers a complete and differentiated product range able to respond to a wide gamut of aesthetic and functional requirements, with over 5000 combinations of colours, sizes, and designs, offering customers a truly complete project.

Marazzi’s research on innovative solutions at both the product and process levels has made an important contribution toward the achievement of technological leadership in the field, making this company a model of reference in worldwide tile production. The quick single-firing process that was patented by Marazzi in 1974 and subsequently became the most widespread production method worldwide, and the revolutionary “Firestream” technology patented in 1985, represent just two of the most significant steps in a continuum of technological growth.

The Marazzi philosophy has always been based on the offer of a technically advanced product with the highest quality standards.

In 1994, Marazzi was one of the first companies in the sector to receive ISO 9001 Quality Certification, which covers the entire process: from product design and development, to production processes, final products, and services, all at the highest technical level. In addition, as testimony to a constant commitment to environmental protection, Marazzi was the first in the ceramic sector to be awarded EMAS certification for its Fiorano factory.
